About the Event: These four well-crafted animated shorts are perfect for kids of all ages, taking viewers into fantastical, vibrant worlds: a young princess seeks danger, a cat eagerly pursues his next meal, an Easter egg spends a fun day with a new babysitter, and a salamander struggles with making art. After the screening, there will be a panel discussion moderated by advocate, activist, and author Lauren Melissa Ellzey about the techniques used in these films, including stop-motion and digital animation, and how one’s autistic identity comes into play when creating.
