Do you read comics and enjoy watching animated films? Then this KinderUni lecture is the right place for you. Here you will find out how picture stories became comics with speech bubbles and what comics actually have to do with animated films.
To find the answers, we will travel together - with the help of a picture book - to America, to New York over 100 years ago, where the history of comic strips began in the major newspapers. We then watch the young Walt Disney in his studio as he creates the first feature-length animated film, Snow White. Why was it such an adventure and why was he so successful with this film?
Today, exciting stories are often told in different forms, such as Coraline. She is a pretty clever and courageous girl and I present her story to you in the children's book of the same name, as a comic and as an animated film. Which form do you like best?
