First Look: 'Waltz With Bashir' Director's Anne Frank Animation

The first images from the upcoming animated feature based on the diary of Anne Frank have emerged. Israeli blog Mako's Cinemascope on Monday posted the shots taken from London's Passion studios, where Academy Award-nominated director Ari Folman, who won for Waltz with Bashir) has been working on the feature with collaborators British puppet maker Andy Gent and Israeli art director/illustrator David Polonsky.
The test shots depicted in the new images show the Frank doll as well as the character of Kitty, the imaginary friend whom Frank addressed in her diary entries. Folman's take will focus on Kitty, who he envisions finding the diary and following Frank's story, although the narrative will not be based solely on the written diary entries.
