In the Realm of the Unknown Response

In this movie, biographic content of Henry Darger's life alternate with his make-believe story accompanied with his own illustrations. To add life to his characters, some become animated to go along with the narrative. In most cases, the movements are simple. Bodies are deconstructed and put back together allowing limbs and heads to move. Simple shapes like wheels are rotated around to look moving. In some cases, an object is resized like explosion smoke so that it appears to be expanding. Unlike the other movie, the characters come to life yet overall still appear 2-dimensional, probably because the images are already so flat. The background seems less doctored than the other movie and the camera angles and movements are less complex.
