Wander To Wonder
''Wander To Wonder'' is a 2023 animated short film, written and directed by Nina Gantz. The film was nominated for Best Animated Short Film at the Academy Awards and won the BAFTA award for Best British Short Animation. Plot Mary, Billybud, and Fumbleton are tiny humans who starred in the 80s children's television show called ''Wander to Wonder'', where they dressed up as silly creatures and were guided by the creator and host, Uncle Gilly. At the start of the film, however, the creator has passed away unexpectedly in the studio (also Uncle Gilly's home), stranding the stars for an indeterminate amount of time as they struggle to survive and find a sense of normalcy. Mary, deeply mourning Uncle Gilly and in denial that their lives have changed, continues to perform material in front of the camera, watches reruns of their program, and reads old fan letters. Fumbleton entertains himself by performing Shakespeare monologues while half-dressed or looking outside, and the mute, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Soul Paint
In many religious and philosophical traditions, there is a belief that a soul is "the immaterial aspect or essence of a human being". Etymology The Modern English noun ''soul'' is derived from Old English ''sāwol, sāwel''. The earliest attestations reported in the ''Oxford English Dictionary'' are from the 8th century. In King Alfred's translation of ''De Consolatione Philosophiae'', it is used to refer to the immaterial, spiritual, or thinking aspect of a person, as contrasted with the person's physical body; in the Vespasian Psalter 77.50, it means "life" or "animate existence". The Old English word is cognate with other historical Germanic terms for the same idea, including Old Frisian ''sēle, sēl'' (which could also mean "salvation", or "solemn oath"), Gothic ''saiwala'', Old High German ''sēula, sēla'', Old Saxon ''sēola'', and Old Norse ''sāla''. Present-day cognates include Dutch ''ziel'' and German ''Seele''. Religious views In Judaism and in some Christian d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
