Over at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles, California, Fans of Disney’s The Princess and the Frog have an amazing opportunity to learn about Animation cels.
What’s Happening:
- This February, in celebration of Black History Month, the Academy Museum located in Los Angeles is offering a special class celebrating both classic animation and Disney’s The Princess and the Frog.
- Perfect for families, the class will invite attendees to create their own animation cels inspired by the hit 2009 film.
- Animation cels, also known as celluloids, are a traditional way of animation where animators would paint on clear sheets of plastic. Creating many cels with minor changes, they were assembled to create movement that would eventually become a movie.
- During the drop-in class, families will be able to learn and participate in this traditional animation practice.
- Taking place on February 8th and 15th from 12:30-2:30, this free (with admission) class will be held at the Shirley Temple Education Studio on a first-come, first-served basis. Museum admission is free for guests ages 17 and under.
