  • The Dam Keeper’ Delivers Oscar Nomination for Studio Alumni
    http://nyti.ms/1vbRp0c AWARDS SEASON Embracing a Fantasy From Their Pixar Past ‘The Dam Keeper’ Delivers Oscar Nomination for Studio Alumni By CHARLES SOLOMON JAN. 29, 2015 This year’s nominees for the Oscar for animated short film cover a variety of subjects and styles. But the film that has generated the most excitement among professional animators is “The Dam Keeper,” a painterly short by Daisuke Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo, former Pixar art directors who have started their own studio. “There is a sameness to much animation, so when a film like ‘Dam Keeper’ comes along, it reminds us that the boundaries of animation have barely been explored,” said Don Hahn, producer of “The Lion King” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Told entirely in mime, “The Dam Keeper” focuses on the withdrawn, dutiful Pig, who maintains a giant windmill that keeps toxic fumes away from his village. Pig is mocked and bullied at school until the impish Fox, who has a gift for caricature, arrives, and the two become fast friends. A misunderstanding leads to a crisis that ultimately reaffirms their friendship and the value of hard work. “The Dam Keeper” has been screened at more than 75 festivals and won numerous honors, including prizes from the New York International Children’s Film Festival, Anima Mundi in Brazil and the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival. The film begins a theatrical run on Jan. 30 as part of a program of Oscar-nominated shorts. Although Mr. Tsutsumi and Mr. Kondo are highly respected for their work as art directors on the hit Pixar features “Toy Story 3” and “Monsters University,” “The Dam Keeper” is their first film as writer-directors.
