Mad Max, Star Wars, The Revenant - 2015 was the year filmmakers, even working with the largest of budgets, harnessed the use of on-location shoots and practical effects to convey big stories. To kick off 2016, the stop motion animated Anomalisa moves to even humbler ground, painstakingly capturing the movements of miniature, life-like puppets to tell a story much smaller and more personal in scale.
Though the weather outside has been dreary, some of this diversity news has been anything but!
This week, the We Need Diverse Books campaign announced that they’re naming an award in honor of the late, great Walter Dean Myers! They are currently raising money through their IndieGoGo campaign and the hashtag #SupportWNDB.
School Library Journal and #WNDB also announced their collaboration. The collaboration will include a diversity-themed event at the 2016 ALA Midwinter conference and support for the diversity-themed festival to be held in the Washington, D.C. area in 2016.
We’re also excited to see all of the diverse movies being released:
The Book of Life, the Mexican-themed fantasy-adventure was released last week! Manolo, an adventurer, travels through magical worlds to rescue his one true love and defend his village from death!
Dear White People, the comedy-satire that started as a Youtube concept trailer premieres today. Dear White People was the winner of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival’s Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent. This comedy is a clever satire of race relations in the age of Obama.
Disney’s next heroine will be Moana. The eponymous film will be about a 
teenaged explorer from Oceania who travels the ocean with a demigod named Maui in search of an island. It’s set to be released in 2016!

Loving the look and feel of Angela Steffen’s Lebensader. The synopsis: “A little girl finds the whole world inside a leaf.” Click on “Film” to view a one minute clip. The animation is fluid and the character designs (as well as everything else) look fantastic. I’m confident after watching what little I can of this film that good animation and good design can co-exist. Beautiful. Be sure to click on “Artwork” to see Angela’s conceptual ideas and designs as well as storyboards. I’m certainly inspired.

We just put Leonard Maltin’s Animation Favorites from the National Film Board of Canada online. You can watch it here.
This feature-length film is comprised of a compilation of NFB films presented by Leonard Maltin. Included in the collection are Begone Dull Care, Mindscape, Log Driver’s Waltz, Getting Started and The Street, among others.
Maltin is a big fan of animated films and animation history and in 1994 he and the NFB put together this compilation of animated shorts he loved from the Board’s history.
This was a real palate cleanser after sitting through Force Awakens. I’m glad someone is still willing to try new things.
It opens next week at a multiplex near me. I’ll be there.
With this and Hateful Eight, 2015 was the year of Jennifer Jason Leigh’s comeback.
