Conclusion AKA Don't Worry, Lilly is Trying Not to Cry Too

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

Right, so don't tell anyone, but this entire project was just a big excuse for me to write about the Up montage. I'm only kind of kidding. So sit back, relax, and let me tell you a story before we say good bye to that beautiful hopping lamp for awhile.

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

Meet cute time! Enjoy.

The Blue Umbrella Chapter 4: Meet Blue AKA Joy Incarnate (well before Inside Out at least)

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

I could never fall in love with an umbrella, you say? Challenge accepted.

The Blue Umbrella Chapter 3: Lilly's Dream City

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

I guarantee this will make your commute better. Ok, maybe making guarantees is a bad idea, but I do promise this will at the very least improve your opinion of gutters.

The Blue Umbrella Chapter 2: Umbrella Meets Umbrella

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

Please do not let my terrible title discourage you from further exploring The Blue Umbrella. I promise, the only reason you could dislike this movie is if you don't have a soul.

The Blue Umbrella Chapter 1: What Boundaries?

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

Ok. Watch Blue Umbrella. Seriously. Have you watched it yet? I'm not kidding. It's brilliant. Beyond brilliant, it's revolutionary. Watch it! Please? 

Also, READ THIS: http://shiggins.blogs.wesleyan.edu/2015/08/13/the-important-umbrella/ 

Professor Higgins was my advisor and his analysis of the film is as awesome as the technology itself.

Day and Night Chapter 4: A Walk Into the Sunset (and Sunrise)

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

More warm and fuzzies! I won't tell you're friends you're crying over blobs if you won't.

Day and Night Chapter 3: Optimism IN ACTION!

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

Hello dear reader, shall we dance? Did that sound creepy? I'm sorry. Watch the video and you'll understand. I promise I'm not creepy. Really...

Day and Night Chapter 2: Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better (also I have a lumberjack)

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

FYI I'm a huge Annie Oakley nerd. That's more relevant to the title than the film, but I thought you should know. Meanwhile, enjoy the perfect comedic structure of the second part of Day and Night.

Day and Night Chapter 1: Three Movies for the Price of One

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

This movie leaves me pretty much speechless. A lot of that has to do with how hard it is to describe, but more importantly it's because it's impeccably constructed and designed. And, hey, how timely is it to embrace embracing the new?

A Mysterious New Reality: Pixar Looks Forward

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

Did you like the water in Good Dinosaur? Seriously, you didn't notice the water? Why am I even trying--I mean, thank you for reading my blog! The next two films are really really cool. That's a technical description. In all seriousness, they point to how Pixar can revolutionize storytelling and technology at the same time. So, yeah, really really cool.

To Films, With Heart: A Conclusion

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

Ok, I've written better puns, but how many times do you get to feel both warm and fuzzy and fulfilled intellectually? Oh right, that's my life's purpose. Carry on everybody else.

La Luna Chapter 3: Lost in Translation, but with Fabulous Hats

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

I just realized that not one, but two Pixar shorts highlight really great hats. Use that knowledge for good everybody.

La Luna Chapter 2: Wide Eyes, Pretty Paintings, Can't Lose

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

Next time you're feeling uninspired, just remember that this little kid climbed a ladder to the moon. Feel better yet? No? Well, I tried...

Partly Cloudy Chapter 4: The Happiest Bait and Switch Ever

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

I am not responsible for any emotions generated from the video below (or more likely the film it was inspired by).

Partly Cloudy Part 3: The Sequence of Dangerous Animal Babies...that is also funny

January 22, 2016 by Lillian Holman

If you are not excited about a sequence of dangerous animal babies or need more context to watch the video, you're reading the wrong blog.
