The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is one of my favourite films. Having watched it again over the weekend, I decided to do further research into the film and write a quick analysis.
I am a big fan of Wes Anderson's films. They are vibrant, funny and overall aesthetically pleasing to me. One of the main things I enjoyed the most was the short animated parts of the film.
The animations were lead by animator Henry Selick. He is known for his vibrant and strange animations, and in this film he doesn't disappoint. Even though it is a live action film, the small segments of animation surprisingly fit the film and does not look out of place, which to me, gives the feature a charming feel. The seahorse that Zissou is given by a small fan at the beginning of the film is beautifully designed. The colours are vibrant and clear, and the stop-motion process produced a clear and 3D look.
Overall, I found that the stop-motion animations presented within this film are perfect, and I enjoy the idea of incorporating a completely different medium and process into a life action feature.
