Celebrate diversity in animated storytelling

New Digital Magazine

Explore progressive global producers and productions

Animation from Every Angle is a forward-facing project focused on creators who widen the scope of animation. The editorial platform seeks to go in-depth on productions that boldly reach new audiences, broaden horizons and use storytelling to shine a light on underrepresented experiences.

Whether it be representation across gender, sexual orientation, racial or cultural identities, diversity and inclusivity have become central themes in the industry both behind the scenes and on screens; Animation From Every Angle aims to empower those changing animation for the better, or are using animation to create change.

Among the creators and production

featured in Animation From Every Angle are:

  • Matthew A. Cherry and Six Point Harness, the director and studio behind Sony Picture Animation’s short Hair Love, which premiered ahead of The Angry Birds Movie 2 in cinemas this past summer and tells the heartwarming story of an African-American dad trying to style his daughter’s rebellious hair.
  • Daniel Errico, creator of Hulu’s The Bravest Knight — a kids’ book turned cartoon that is one the first young children’s series ever to feature a same-sex relationship.
  • Shawn Sullivan, who co-founded the Creator X annual camp alongside internationally famous performance painter David Garibaldi, offering students access to a variety of creative career skills entirely for free.
  • Women in Animation Vancouver and Women in View’s Five in Focus — a year-long program that provided financing to write, develop and produce an animated short film called The Butterfly Affect, which was created by five women selected from the Canadian animation industry: director Stephanie Blakey, writer Jen Davreux, producer Amanda Konkin, animation director Kaitlin Sutherland and art director Maisha Moore.
  • Esther Cheung, the Canadian-Chinese director and animator of In Passing, which uses incredibly detailed, culturally thoughtful animation to give a glimpse into her parents’ lives in 1970s Hong Kong.
