The Annie Awards turn 50 this weekend, but where to see oodles of animation artifacts? The Academy Museum's just-refreshed Animation Gallery.
Call the gallery a film-strong feast for the senses, one that invites visitors to experience a wider universe populated with unknown worlds. For it is the unknown world that is so often explored in animation, making every fan of the form an adventurer of sorts.
Some of the gallery's treasures include a treat for"Pinocchio" people — it's a Jiminy Cricket maquette — and concept art from 2018's lauded blockbuster"Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse." Tim Burton buffs will be drawn to the stop-motion puppets seen in"The Corpse Bride." Shorts are also celebrated — tributes to the beautiful"Bao" are part of the collection — as are venerable works like"Alice in Wonderland."
It's true that animation regularly ventures to spaces and places that are at the very edge of possibility, but those realms have real-world connections, giving we viewers a chance to reflect upon what we're enjoying and how it relates to the world we live in. But that earnest reflection is also paired with a rollicking spirit, one that cheers us, makes us laugh, and fills us with joy. And perhaps that's what animation does so well: Mix the unreal with the real into a scrumptious stew, one that is both tasty and true.This article tagged under:
