Let me say this for the millionth time. Animation IS a film MEDIUM. A MEDIUM is the process/tools used to tell a story. Live action is a MEDIUM. Animation is NOT a GENRE. A genre is the type/category of story being told. Horror is a GENRE. Animation can be a MEDIUM used in ANY GENRE of film.

The art of physically drawing the film poster is something that takes a lot of careful precision, understanding of templates & how to make it be something you'd want to hang on your wall. Drew Struzan accomplished that and created something that stands next to fine art.

2D animation is booming in theaters. In China, the film Nobody is outgrossing many of Hollywood's recent CG films—on a $10< million budget. It's only one example. As 2D films rise, Hollywood's decision to kill them off looks shortsighted. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-hand-d...

This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination. The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...
