Revisiting a decade later, it&#8217;s just as dazzling as the first time. The film imagines a world where characters in a painting are divided into social classes depending on how complete they are. The fully-finished Alldunns believe that the artist designed them to be superior to the thinly-outlined Sketchies in the background. A group of outcasts search for their painter to find out if their destiny really is determined by a big bearded man in the sky. The unique animation style is the perfect way to tell this story of free will and self-expression, and the genre-defying plot twist at the very end is one of my most memorable moments in cinema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>This title is available on Kanopy in English or the original French. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kanopy.com\/en\/fosterlibraries\">Click here<\/a> to log in to Kanopy using your Libraries of Foster card. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Le-Tableau-post2-Audrey-DuBois-1024x617.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11730\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The characters within a painting rebel against the artist who drew them and learn how to create their own identities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16016,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_piecal_is_recurring":false,"_piecal_recurring_interval":1,"_piecal_recurring_frequency":"","_piecal_recurring_exact_position":false,"_piecal_recurring_end":"","_piecal_color":"","_piecal_text_color":"","_piecal_global_color_master":false,"_piecal_rsets":"[]","_piecal_is_event":false,"_piecal_start_date":"","_piecal_end_date":"","_piecal_is_allday":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[16,19,24],"class_list":["post-11729","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-staff-recs","tag-audrey-recs","tag-childrens","tag-film"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11729","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11729"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11729\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fostercommunitylibrary.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
