Thanks for the kind words! It's a thrill to publish on-the-ground reporting about dwarf -- it's a studio we have huge respect for.

作为中国的动画爱好者,说实话更希望Olivia y las nubes拿下奥斯卡最佳长片,不过arco马上在中国要上映了,看完后可能会改变想法。罗小黑固然优秀但氛围把控还是差了点(题外话:漫画里清凝终于回归啦!!)

We're looking forward to watching Arco ourselves! Although it screened at the Annecy Festival this year, it was difficult to get tickets for Arco, so we weren't able to see it then. Hopefully we have the opportunity soon.

Sometimes it's the softer footsteps that make the loudest noise. Superb craftsmanship.

Absolutely. Dwarf has always been a pretty unassuming studio, and it's still small after all these years, but its track record is amazing. It's an institution at this point!

That's what's up. Well they deserve to be appreciated for their work. It's amazing.

Out of all the different mediums for animation, 2D and stop motion are my absolute favorites!

I’m especially engrossed by stop motion because of the tactically of it all and how the characters and sets actually exist.

It feels like our love of stop motion grows every year -- so much incredible work has been done with it, all over the world. Even the earliest surviving animated feature, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, is stop motion! Japan's tradition of stop motion has been an obsession of ours this year, and we're happy that we could cover dwarf's place in it.
