In class today we watched about 30 minutes of the animated film Sita Sings the Blues. This was an animation that has roots in the animators personal experiences with her relationship. It was at first confusing because there were several different story lines that each had a different visual style. However the styles were intriguing - from cutout to rough line drawings. I also enjoyed the narrators' conversational style. It was enjoyable that they were not perfect in their knowledge of what they were talking about or even their pronunciations of names and places.
We also watched about the same amount of time of The Triplets of Belleville. This was super exciting because I have always wanted to watch this and it has been suggested to me many times. I really enjoyed the visual quality of the animation. The caricature-like drawings were amusing as well as the gags set up. I was intrigued by my ability to follow the story even though there was a significant lack of dialogue.
These were my first interactions with both films and I would absolutely love to see more of them.
