Tree of Palme
by Takashi Nakamura
(2002, running time 2hr. 15 min)
In Japanese with English Subtitles
A creative vision radically different from other animated works, TREE OF PALME incorporates a mix of traditional cel and 3D animation to retell the story of Disney's Pinocchio. Ten years in development, five of those years in production, a team of more than 500 people worked on this film that deals with the spiritual journey of a wooden robot named Palme. Takashi Namakura, director of animation for “Akira” and former collaborator of Academy Award winning animator Hayao Miyazaki (“Spirited Away”) directs this allegorical tale about the transience of human existence.
Panel Discussion
Producer Fred Ladd, responsible for the introduction of Japanese anime/manga to the United States, is the featured speaker along with anime expert Fred Patten and animator Sadao Miyamoto.
