Juvenilia

About This Movie

So, Juvenilia is an interesting collection of Mark's early works from his time at Pratt and CalArts. It’s like a peek into the formative years of an artist, giving you a sense of their evolution. The animation styles vary quite a bit; some pieces feel raw and experimental, while others showcase a more polished approach. You can really see the experimentation with themes of childhood and imagination, especially in shorts like 'Magic Cape' and 'Fat Kid.' The music's been stripped from some of the pieces, which adds a peculiar atmosphere—you're kind of left to fill in the gaps. It’s not a conventional narrative experience, but there’s something appealing about the unrefined nature of these early works. Definitely a slice of animation history worth exploring.
