The Future of Animation: Combining Viewpoints
Based on her experience at STUDIOCANAL, Françoise Guyonnet will talk about the place animation holds in Europe, the development of a new film genre that is a cross between animation and live action, adapting brands or famous characters into feature films and guiding original creations through brand content.
Producer and Consultant, Jinko Gotoh has over 15 animated features under her belt, including The Little Prince. There have been a lot of changes over the past 50 years and animation is now an exploding global industry. Now is the time to empower all the untapped talent, especially women.
The third perspective comes from the CEO of The Jim Henson Company, Lisa Henson, daughter of Jim, creator of The Muppet Show.

Schulz like they've never been seen before, through animation orchestrated by Blue Sky Studios.

An 11-year-old orphan named Félicie doesn't have any money but she does have one big, passionate dream: to become a ballet dancer for the Paris Opera. With nothing left to lose, Félicie takes a big risk: she sneaks out of the orphanage to go to Paris, where she "borrows" a spoiled brat's identity and enters the Opera Ballet School. But how long can she be someone else?
