“As time evolved so did the means of artistically replicating reality, from cave drawings…to engraving, to painting, to photography, and to its (thus far) most convincing form, cinema. In the task of duplicating reality cinema has surpassed all other forms of representation.” – From “André Bazin Revisited” – Donato Totaro

If you haven’t seen WALL•E rent it or pop-it into your DVD and skip to chapter 32, and you’ll see this:

One of the most beautiful credit sequences I’ve ever seen. The Art of the Title Sequence has posted an interview with the creators of this beautiful piece of motion: Jim Capobianco & Alex Woo. A must read.

I found it to be a pleasant surprise that at the end of a 3D movie they chose to show traditional 2D animation. How they tell the history of art with some key artist styles is exquisite and very well executed.
