Prescribing Bambi, Increasing Empathy
Image courtesy of Disney, all rights reserved.
David Berry Jr, a poacher from Missouri, was arrested last August with his father and brother for killing hundreds of deer, taking their heads and leaving the bodies. Judge Robert George ordered him to watch the Walt Disney movie Bambi at least once a month during his time in prison (via).
"Cinema, like all art forms, is an empathy machine: it expands our perspective and invites us to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes – or hooves, in the case of Bambi."

Disney's Mickey: The True Original Exhibition - 90 Years of Magic
Finally, we made it to Desenzano. What a beautiful show. I'll post some impressions of our visit a little later. By the by, two of my original Mickey Mouse works were included to this official Disney exhibition celebrating Mickey's 90th birthday (there were only two exhibitions worldwide, the one in New York City and the one in Castello di Desenzano).

Kyra Buschor and Constantin Paeplow: "First Christmas" Spot
This warm and very fuzzy all-CG effort from directing duo Kyra & Constantin at Passion Animation Studios was produced through agency Jung von Matt/DONAU for Austrian financial services provider Erste Group Bank AG.
Kyra Buschor and Constantin Paeplow joined forces while studying Animation at the world-renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Germany, and have since mastered the art of creating imaginative animal (or animal-like) characters that have come to distinguish the pair’s very distinct style. Their personal project Rollin’ Wild, in which they devised a series of bloated wild animals in their natural environments, became a YouTube sensation, and they have gone on to create commercial spots that draw people in with equally endearing characters for Genius, Anchor and Motorola.
