  • Paprika is one of my favorites, I’ve seen it a few times. I’m a little surprised that you describe it as “grounded and straightforward”–the first time I saw it, I found it a bit hard to follow. On rewatches, it becomes easier to spot clues as to what’s going on earlier in the film, but even then, it has a lot of threads to keep track of.

    I’m a little embarrassed that this is the only Satoshi Kon film I’ve seen. A lot of people I know are wild about Tokyo Godfathers, but I’ve never actually seen that one.




  • Hultgren’s The Art of Animal Drawing is really good, nice to see it highlighted here.

    I’d like to suggest a couple more books:

    • Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair: A great introductory text for character animation, with lots of examples. If someone came to me with some basic cartooning skills and said they wanted to learn animation, I’d point them here first.
    • Character Animation Crash Course by Eric Goldberg: Some overlap with Blair’s book, but includes more production skills.
