If you are a big animation film fan you are in for a treat in 2016 as there are a whole host of exciting movies on the horizon... Anomalisa is just one of them and it will be hitting screens at the beginning of March.
Anomalisa
Anomalisa is a stop-motion animation feature that sees Charlie Kaufman return to the director's chair alongside Duke Johnson.
Anomalisa is the second feature of Kaufman's career and comes eight years after he made his directorial debut with Synecdoche, New York. As well as being in the director's chair, Kaufman has also penned the film's screenplay.
Anomalisa is a movie that has already been winning over critics on the festival circuit - going on to become the first animated film to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Venice International Film Festival.
This is one of the animation movies that I really cannot wait to see this year and we have a great new clip for you to take a look at:
David Thewlis, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Tom Noonan have come together to lend their voices to the animation project.
Michael Stone (Thewlis) is a successful motivational speaker with fans across the country, but inside him sits a knot of anxiety that renders much of his daily life meaningless. Everything and everyone just seems the same to him. But then Michael meets Lisa (Leigh) on a speaking tour stop in Cincinnati. Lisa is an anomaly.
Michael and Lisa begin with prickly, cautious conversations and then move towards love. But, unlike in a conventional Hollywood romance, that romantic arc is neither simple nor obvious. The love scene at the heart of Anomalisa should instantly rocket up the list of cinema's greatest. It's intimate, awkward, heartbreaking and deeply erotic despite the fact that the lovers are made of felt.
Anomalisa is a movie that has, so far, been met with critical acclaim and is in the Best Animated Feature Oscar race. The movie has been nominated alongside Inside Out, Boy & the World, Shaun the Sheep Movie and When Marnie Was There.
Anomalisa is released 11th March.
