I am interested only in how a film works aesthetically-whether it is emotionally satisfying, cohesively expressed, and dynamically constructed. Box office grosses, no matter how impressive, are not a factor in my analyses. My goal is to help elevate the art of feature animation above merely commercial considerations. I am an acting teacher, not a movie reviewer, and my intended reader is the animation professional, not the general public. Over the next two weeks, I will present a performance analysis for each of these films, beginning today with Isao Takahata’s hand-drawn film Princess Kaguya. It’s an interesting and varied field, with a high level of craft on display throughout. The 2015 Oscar nominees for Best Animated Feature are, in alphabetical order: Big Hero 6, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Song of the Sea, The Boxtrolls, and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.
