All in the Details: Bringing the Story World Sequences of \u2018The Breadwinner\u2019 to Life<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Breadwinner<\/em>, a meticulously crafted story of self-empowerment and imagination in the face of oppression, showcases the breathtaking hand-drawn animation that has made Cartoon Saloon<\/a> one of the world\u2019s most beloved and respected animation studios. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, the Ireland-Canada-Luxembourg co-production follows Parvana (voiced by Sarah Chowdry), a young girl living under the Taliban regime who disguises herself as a boy in order to provide for her family after her father is imprisoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by Nora Twomey in her first solo directorial outing, Cartoon Saloon brings Parvana\u2019s story to the screen with gorgeous imagery that pays homage to the beauty of Afghanistan as it was in 2001, when the events of the story take place. The color palette is inspired by the \u201cHoney Light\u201d of the Middle East, employing delicate, muted pastel tones that contrast with the pop of red of Parvana\u2019s headscarf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juxtaposed with Parvana\u2019s real-world life in Kabul are the wildly fantastical cut-paper \u201cStory World\u201d sequences, depicting mythic tales in lush environments that are free of physics dominated by jewel-toned reds and greens and black. Comprising nearly 15 minutes of the finished film, including the title sequence, the Story World sequences appear to be animated using stop-motion paper cutouts, but in reality were achieved entirely using digital animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
