Pinterest user p8ronella has collected a handy array of reference, lovingly organized.  Click to go through!

The screen cap I took of the first albums doesn’t do the vast collection justice.  You’ll see!  There’s a lot of periods and places packed in there.

Does Kate Beaton have a Pinterest? I’ve set up boards for my students to follow and I’d love to have her added as a resource.

I do! There’s absolutely nothing on it, it’s a hilarious non-entity, like your dad’s facebook account.  I keep meaning to do it, though, instead of using tumblr as a pinterest in a way.  Tumblr’s archiving is terrible!  It would be cool to have some organization for reference things.  I will let you know when there is anything worth looking at!

favorite animated movies » The Secret of NIMH (1982)
↳ “Courage of the heart is very rare. The stone has a power when it’s there.”

One of the things that makes this movie so lovely to me (other than everything) is the voices and acting. Everyone sounds pleasant to my ears and I feel like everyone fits their character well. I love the little mannerisms Mrs Brisby has when she talks and Justin and Jenner have the best sexy sounding voices. Villain voices are important and when it doesn’t give me chills you have failed. What I am saying is I have a boner for voice acting.

The work that was poured into this film is amazing.  I loved how there would just be these intense hits of color.
