i don’t think “flex” is a strong enough word for whatever the last three minutes of my life was
That was one of the most beautiful sequences I have ever seen.
Marahute the eagle and her animation are some of my most formative memories of learning to adore animation as a discipline. I wore out our VHS tape of this movie just watching her sequences over and over again.
The speed, scale, weight and accuracy with which lead animator Glen Keane captures her motion and movement, and balances the scales between anthropomorphizing her and keeping her strictly animal… it’s just masterful. It is so, so beautiful as a piece of craft.
