Marcy - Kids' Cartoon Styles

As a final tribute celebrating the career of NFB producer Marcy Page, who retired March 31, , AWN has put together a compendium of recollections, pictures and videos from friends and colleagues, each a bit happier and wiser having had the chance to work with her at various points in their careers.

For too many producers I know, producing is a contact sport. But not for Marcy. But in looking back at my own recollections, what has impressed me the most is something she referred to in our last interview. Her success, she felt, was judged not by the list of personal accolades or some professional score card, but by the success enjoyed by the directors, producers and creative artists she supported in their own efforts to realize their creative filmmaking dreams.

The following video, produced by Wendy Tilby, Amanda Forbis, Judith Gruber-Stitzer and Janet Perlman, was presented to Marcy at her retirement party on March 28, and shared with us for this tribute. We were in a meeting. The project had everything going against it. I knew Marcy knew this going in and the animators probably knew it too. We were shown an edit. It was tense. I wondered how on earth she would respond. Marcy immediately honed in on the one positive aspect: a short sequence that was beautifully animated and captured the story perfectly.

She celebrated that moment. The tone changed immediately. The animators re-inflated. New ideas came up about how to improve the film. She shifted the focus back to where it mattered most and where it had to be invested in order to fix everything else, creative and otherwise.

I've worked alongside Marcy Page for seven years. I have always admired the complicity she has built with the filmmakers. Few producers have that sense of risk, this sensitivity, this instinct and knowledge of animation and its techniques. We must celebrate her dedication to produce the best possible films. Marcy Page is a model for all animation producers at the NFB.

Thanks Marcy! I was just starting out my film career, working as a coordinator for producers Roman Kroitor and Steven Hoban, but was immediately drawn to her energy. As I was just starting out my career at the time, often that person was me.

The NFB came on board as a partner and Marcy as a producer on what turned out to be one of my proudest achievements in film, the Oscar-winning short Ryan. It was during the making of this film that I really got to know Marcy.

Ryan Larkin, and would meet with him, buy him a meal, share stories, and basically hang out. I would then report back on how Ryan was doing etc… Steve Hoban and Marcy Page decided early on in the process that I should be an actual producer on Ryan and made it so. Marcy was very supportive of what Chris wanted to do. Marcy would navigate these political waters of working for a Federal institution while at the same time empowering filmmakers to push their limits creatively. Once we completed the film, there was this world-wind of buzz surrounding the film and I was fortunate enough to join my fellow producers in Annecy and eventually the Academy Awards.

As I recall, Marcy seemed somehow more excited for the annual Chocolate Fosca party and being with people from the animation community in LA. But as always, she championed the underdog. Since then, I have had the pleasure of co-producing a few more shorts with Marcy as has Steve : The Spine and then more recently Subconscious Password.

I live in Toronto and Marcy in Montreal so most of my exchanges with her which were very frequent during the making of those two films were done over the phone. She would often come down to Toronto and participate in marathon production meetings with our crew. To think of Marcy no longer there at the NFB is sort of depressing for me as it will truly mark the end of an era. Marcy is a unique producer whose impact on the animation world is a gift that any young animation filmmaker should thank her for.

I am very proud to call her my dear friend. Marcy's greatest lasting impression on me has always been her encouraging spirit and positivity. She seems to have an ability to simply laugh off any stress or adversity she faces, which begins to rub off on you.

I turned to her for advice during the shortlist period for my film earlier this year and she gave me invaluable insight. Her legacy as one of the greatest NFB producers of all time will continue to provide inspiration to independent filmmakers in Canada and around the world for years to come. One lesser known fact about Marcy is that she sings like a bird! She was a key member of The Thumbs , a band of NFB animation studio types and others in our orbit who, back in the early 90's, would gather occasionally to jam or perform at the studio Christmas party.

Fun times. What can I say about Marcy as an animation producer! The films, the fabulous animated shorts of every stripe and color, they come first to mind. But Marcy's smiling face quickly follows, because as important as the films are, it's her joyful approach to producing that sets her apart. She takes obvious delight in the art and folly that goes into producing short animation.

When I first approached her about co-producing my TV special, Penguins Behind Bars , her face lit up, she laughed and said, "Sure, let's go for it! She got right into the spirit of the film and joined our chain gang of tough penguins, singing our "Crack Them Rocks" song with great gusto! At our wrap party, she arrived with a huge cake that she'd made and decorated with an intricate icing rendition of her favorite character, Flotsam, holding her shrimp doll!

I was Marcy's associate producer on this pilot project mixing dance, animation and stereoscopic 3D long before Pina or Ora. As with most of her productions, Marcy was eager to visit these yet unexplored animation territories with creators who had unlimited faith in her.

But my most valuable memory from that day was not photographed. It was an image of Marcy the Great with a broom, sweeping the floor after the green screen tests were over. Stunned, I looked away, thinking of Madame Tutli-Putli , a film produced by Marcy and nominated for the Academy Awards just a few days earlier.

For a split second, I thought about our production budget — it was limited, I admit, but could I have hired a production assistant? Should I just grab the broom myself? I finally decided to do nothing but secretly observe and learn. Only the greatest among the living give these simple lessons of modesty in life. To a great producer and a very dear friend, I write this note with endless thanks. When I see you finish an email and then send it off, you sometimes do a special seated dance.

I have observed this…you tap your toes and wiggle your fingers in celebration. So tap you toes and wiggle your fingers, Animation Producer, for a job so incredibly well done:. Lynn also sent us a new short she animated for Marcy as a tribute to her retirement. I was freelancing in the NFB's animation studio doing anything I could to stick around. There was a dynamic and contagiously creative energy that was awe inspiring.

I was just starting out in the industry really fresh out of school but Marcy took the time to find out how I could help her on some of her projects - soon after I got involved with Madame Tutli-Putli doing the offline conform edit with Chris Lavis and Macziek Szczerbowski. Numerous other projects with Marcy followed in the editorial and camera depts. By working with Marcy and her talented cast of filmmakers, I understood the commitment and passion that it took to craft a film.

I was as indie as indie could get at that point mostly working alone in the editing suite. I was stressed out and rather unsure about the direction the film was heading and wished someone could just tell me what to do. I suspect Marcy has some kind of spidey sense when it comes to this kind of stuff since despite being quite the busy super producer with a healthy slate of films she suggested and helped organize a studio screening to offer some feedback - and boy did I ever need that!

I'm not even going to go into the fact that animators and animation producers are quite talented storytellers by nature so the genre doesn't even matter. Marcy is the type of person that takes a personal interest in watching the people around her succeed; there are times when I think back that had Marcy among other key mentor figures not been there in some instances of my career, I might have made different choices and ended up in a different place. The film went on to win three jury prizes from international film festivals and really gave me a boost in doing what I love doing: making films.

Thank you for being present Marcy. Producers are not supposed to be nice and kind. Producers are there to coerce, cajole, to sell, to bully, to have their way. This archetype is not Marcy Page. Marcy is a nice producer. Nice is not supposed to be effective. Nice guys finish last. Guess again. Marcy's power in creating and championing independent films was astonishing, over and over again.

I never knew Marcy to hard sell anyone anything. Her manner was that of a stalk of grass - bending when the wind blew, but ultimately standing up tall. I saw how tall she stood when she defended to the skeptical leadership at the NFB in something as crazy as Ryan , when all indications were that I was off-base for thinking of this project the prevailing feedback from people at the time was that if I was to do a film about anyone, it should be of one of the successful Canadian animators, not a seemingly fucked-up artist like Ryan Larkin.

Marcy prevailed, again and again. Marcy showed me that the grass does stands tall in the end. That was the first of many such encounters at festivals, both in Canada and Europe, where I was fortunate enough to spend time hanging out, eating, laughing and watching films. I loved talking about films with Marcy because of her monumental knowledge of both the filmmakers and the films.

And I looked for NFB films Marcy was involved with, I knew that they would have a wonderful integrity, craftsmanship and be incredibly interesting to boot! My favorite times with Marcy have been in the past few years when she and Normand and often other wonderful filmmakers would drive down to New York for the East Coast chapter of the Academy judging of the entries for Best Animated Short.

It gave us a chance to hang out together without the crazy time limits of festivals.

First Look at BOOM! Studios’ ADVENTURE TIME MARCY AND SIMON #6

Marcie is a studious girl who is sometimes depicted as being terrible at sports. She has befriended the tomboyish, athletic Peppermint Patty , who gets annoyed at Marcie when she calls her "sir", and she has a mostly-unrequited crush on the underdog Charlie Brown. Marcie has appeared outside the comic strip, featured in numerous Peanuts television specials, cinematic films, theatrical plays, and video games. Marcie made her first appearance in the daily strip from July 20, , [2] but her name wasn't mentioned until the strip from October Schulz 's cousin and the inspiration for the Peppermint Patty character. As Marcie became a part of the regular cast, she appeared in the same class as Peppermint Patty, sitting in the desk behind her. Schulz never gave Marcie a surname in the comic strip.

Olivia Olson's Marcy & Simon #1 Kicks Off Official Canon Continuation of Adventure Time in January

Ten years ago last month on June 15, , to be precise , Alex Hirsch took us on the first of many eerie and hilarious journeys in Gravity Falls, the paranormal town where tween twins Dipper voiced by Jason Ritter and Mabel Pines Kristen Schaal were shipped to stay with their Grunkle Stan Hirsch for the summer. Through mysteries, disturbing horror that made you question if it was in fact a Disney show like shapeshifting Cronenberg-esque creatures , mounted heads that bleed , and freaky face tricks , and outrageous comedy, the series accomplished a lot: Emmy wins, some serious ratings and what The A. Serialized animated shows were a rarity in the early s. But that was a rarity. Throughout its run, Gravity Falls succeeded in walking the fine line between being episodic and serialized: It boasted rewatchability through its comedy and supernatural-based plots, all while building an overall arc with the Pine twins facing off against Bill Cipher in Weirdmageddon.

At first glance After Hours is a non-essential Scorsese film, but in some ways, it may well be the most important film he ever made. Unexpectedly, he chose the underappreciated minute musical drama New York, New York , which flopped both financially and critically. Afterward, Scorsese would direct back-to-back masterpieces in Raging Bull and The King of Comedy ; the former garnered immense acclaim but lost money, and the latter completely dumbfounded critics and was soundly rejected by audiences. Adding to the director's streak of frustrations, the cancellation of his passion project The Last Temptation of Christ left Scorsese contemplating quitting feature filmmaking altogether.

I initially picked up the books for my wife, who loved the cartoon, but found myself won over by how tightly-written and jolly they were. Eventually, I became a regular viewer of the show. North won an Eisner and much acclaim for his ability to create meaningful stories that truly stood on their own. His was a tough act to follow, but KaBoom must have made plenty of money if the smorgasbord of OGNs, B-titles, and miniseries is any indication. A lot of those secondary publications were hit-or-miss. A couple standouts, in my opinion, were Marceline Gone Adrift , an introspective story about making art and artistic motivation, and Banana Guard Academy , a silly romp that surprised by giving real pathos to a handful of minor background characters from the show.
