Animated films were once considered "cartoonish", barely worthy of serious cinematic consideration. Now they vie for Best Picture Awards and touch on complicated adult themes done so artistically that they also capture a sense of childhood wonder. Join in a discussion of three major types of animation and the films representing these techniques: "Spirited Away", "Up", and "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On".
Students will watch 3 films outside of class which can be rented through streaming services or can be checked out at a local library.
