Wow. I'm blown away by Hidari. The expressiveness achieved with these wooden puppets, the camera movement, editing—all superb. It feels *new,* and that's exciting.
This is a great way to put it -- that new feeling. The film generates so much energy by combining two seemingly opposite forms of animation. We haven't seen anything like it before. Happy to hear you enjoyed it as well!
So much animation's happening in Europe that barely gets any press in America - so thanks for the summary of Cartoon Movie!!!
It's really exciting stuff! Europe is doing a lot of our favorite work right now and the future for it looks bright. (And welcome to Substack!)
thanks! figured it was finally time to move over here!

So PSYCHED on Hidari!
Haha, same here! It was awesome to have the chance to talk with the director about it.
Okay, Hidari was fantastic. I can't wait to see more.
So glad you liked it!
