2D Class Week 06 The Art of Jim Henson

This week's artist was Jim Henson, known for his puppet work in the Muppets, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, Sesame Street and others. His characters are always filled with life and very creative, and there's no one aesthetic to them all.

God, I love Labyrinth.

2D Class Week 02 The Art of Brian Froud

This weeks artist was Brian Froud, an illustrator and concept artist that worked on movies like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal . Something about his work makes me think of the Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman. I think he would have been perfect for that series.

1. Who was the director of the film? What other movies has this director produced? Don Bluth directed this film and he's known for other movies very similar in style: An American Tale, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Thumbelina, Anastasia and Titan A.E . 2. Artistically, what did you like about this film? The animation style of Don Bluth films is something I've always liked, though it's a little hard to pinpoint why.

This means that a lot of the animator comes through in the animation and in the mistakes, kind of like early Disney films animated by Milt Kahl (although he never made mistakes, guy was an animation God). It's so much easier to see the artist in them, if that makes sense. 3. What was Mrs. Brisby's husbands name? Jonathan. As we heard many times from everyone calling her Mrs. Jonathan Brisby. (Which is weird, to be referred to as your spouses full name.)
