The Sand Castle

       I was just flipping through all of Kayla's comics and thinking, if this blog stays online for several years, we'll be able to look back and relive wonderful memories of Leeper. Ha ha.
       Anyways, I realized I have not yet blogged on "The Sand Castle". Well, I loved this film. It just made me smile; I don't know why. Maybe because the Sandman seemed so much like God: he was just having fun creating his creatures, but was thoughtful about it, and after his creations were formed, he loved them and helped them create things, too.
       I also admired the movement of the creatures, and how they had their own ways of moving around and their own ways of creating. That's how we are. And each creature played their own part in helping to build the sand castle; they did what they were equipped to do.
      The process by which this film was made is amazing. How could they get all those amazing actions and transformations using stop-motion? If it were drawn animation, it would make sense; I mean, you can just draw it, but stop-motion, you have to actually build everything. Crazy.By the way, I wish we could have watched "Matrioska" in class. I would like to see that one.
