5/20/2023 0 Comments Waltz With Bashir by Ari Folman![]() ![]() Although today the realistically animated film is well established especially in Asia, many worldwide box office hits are animated films with fantastic, fairytale stories, with animals or monster-like protagonists. It is no coincidence that two early classics of the genre are Fantasmagorie (1908, by Èmile Cohl) and Walt Disney Studios’ Fantasia (1940). Since its beginnings, talking animals, ghosts, demons, and fairies have populated animation. Even more, the invisible, the fantastic, what exceeds our perception is the real domain of the animated film. Ghosts, fantastic beings, past or future things, images of feelings or thoughts, everything can be created with animation. And, indeed, it seems that there is nothing animated films are not capable of visualizing. This is what director Ari Folman says in the extras of his award-winning animated film Vals Im Bashir ( Waltz with Bashir, 2008).
