Is animation the father of live-action cinema? Should all directors be animators first? Spielberg seems to think so!
In animation, nothing exists until you draw it. Its endless possibilities give way to boundless creativity, limited only by the director’s imagination. Honoring Steven Spielberg’s words, we brought him to life through traditional hand-drawn animation, recreating his 1978 appearance at the American Film Institute, where he eloquently recognized animation as the father of live-action cinema.
Inspiration comes in many forms, and at Venturia, we celebrate the heroes who have shaped the worlds of animation, cinema, and music through their work and creativity. Explore our Heroes Collection—a series of captivating reels we crafted and shared on social media, honoring the visionaries who have left their mark on storytelling.
