To kick off a new series on our page our lovely Intern Fanta has selected to highlight the movie Wendell and Wild: Directed by Jordan Peele and from the mind that has brought you countless stories like Coraline this film exceeded my expectations. Such a funny quirky movie that still tackles heavier topics like losing a loved one and what that can do to you. But also what is a family? and how important community is. I chose this film first because I have always had a deep admiration for animation. Growing up it’s all I ever watched except for movies of course. To be able to see an animated film that highlights Black people , specifically a girl, to be able to take up space in the animation world has made my heart so full.
