Cutting across generations and cultures, Watch Me Move: The Animation Show is the most extensive exhibition ever mounted to present the full range of animated imagery produced in the last 150 years. Featuring more than 170 works, from iconic clips to lesser-known masterpieces, the exhibition brings together industry pioneers, independent film-makers and contemporary artists including Étienne-Jules Marey, Harry Smith, Jan Švankmajer, William Kentridge and Nathalie Djurberg alongside the creative output of commercial studios such as Walt Disney, Aardman Animations, Studio Ghibli and Pixar Animation Studios.
Watch Me Move showcases a wide selection of short films and extracts from feature films. In addition, carefully-selected objects and key installations bring the world of animation into the physical space of your guests and take them behind the dream-world of the finished film.
Invite your guests to a behind-the-scenes glimpse of classic films, old and new, such as Pinnochio and Toy Story and introduce your young guests to the great classics, from the first Mickey Mouse animations to Felix the Cat.
Exhibition developed and curated by the Barbican Centre, London, UK. Tour organized with Barbican International Enterprises, London, UK, and distributed by Exhibits Development Group, USA.
