Women in Animation  


Special Delivery

A Canadian greeting card artist,Eunice Macaulay went from seemingly nowhere to becoming the first female animator to win her own Academy Award for her film Special Delivery (1978). The short film, which was produced in part by Canada’s National Film Board, is a dark short full of dry humor about a mailman’s untimely death.

Summer research 15/16, 26 January cats on bodies video

I can't get onto Facebook at home, and these are questions that must be answered:  would a cat trying to pull chicks at a bar really wear a bolo tie?  REALLY?  Were the video makers completely unaware of the racist connotations of casting a black man as a cat who's afraid of water?  REALLY?  The Guardian newspaper described the dancing as "sensual".  REALLY?  It's her back up dancer who is totally blowing my mind.
