| Joy Batchelor |
100 years ago today, on May 12, 1914, Joy Batchelor was born. To commemorate this event,
Skwigly Online Magazine has put together a wonderful article that collects photos of Joy, some shorts that she produced, a list of screenings of Joy's work, a link to the new 'A Moving Image: Joy Batchelor' book, and a short film produced by her daughter Vivian Halas and London Animation Club member Martin Pickles.
The video, 'Ode to Joy', is only four minutes long, but is a fantastic introduction to Joy's career in animation.
You can find the article here on their website:

If you have a chance, it's well worth a look.
