What a fascinating essay. I have yet to see Kubo but I’ll definitely check it out now.

This is really fascinating. I worked in an elementary school library for a time and so often teachers would discourage their students from checking out graphic novels. I always thought it was a bit unfair. The amount of pictures doesn’t lessen the impact the story can have on someone.

I love time-travel stories. I think it’s easy for audiences to get really tied up in how the travel works they miss the narrative purpose of the travel. These films you selected clearly have a narrative reason for the travel. More writers should consider why the time travelling is happening.

Health anxiety can be a great source of horror. It’s interesting to see the variety of ways you can explore that as a filmmaker. I’m personally rather tired of zombies but I like examining them in this way.
