This film was one of the biggest influences on Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata. Seeing it for the first time, Miyazaki told his friend, "I guess we’re failures, aren’t we?" This is Crac -- the first masterpiece by animator Frédéric Back. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-lament...

A quick project I finished over the weekend .🥰 This was a small homage to my very first Disney movie and favorite princess. I went for a soft poster/illustration like feeling to capture a bit of that old classic look. ✨ #disney #snowwhite #princess #animation #charactermodeling
