Leave your thoughts about Floyd Norman: An Animated Life.
| The PlaylistOktay Ege KozakFloyd Norman: An Animated Life is as joyful as its subject, and is heartily recommended to every artist who might have lost their way and are looking for some inspiration. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonHe's a charming character, a fascinating player in cinema history. Absolutely essential viewing for Disney fans and those interested in animated filmmaking. |
| AwardsCircuit.comShane SlaterFloyd Norman: An Animitated Life is a heartwarming tribute to an underappreciated, unassuming man who broke boundaries and impacted many lives for the better. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranLike the man himself, Floyd Norman: An Animated Life is genial on the surface but lets us go a little deeper into an unusual life than we might have expected. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlMichael Fiore and Erik Sharkey's film is most revealing and involving when Norman, now 80, talks and sketches, his pen and mind both lively. |
| RogerEbert.comJana MonjiDirectors Erik Sharkey and Michael Fiore have caught Norman's whimsical charm and his upbeat attitude. |
| New York TimesKen JaworowskiThe humble Mr. Norman is always ready with a laugh, and it’s tough not to smile yourself when he reaches for a pencil and starts drawing. When that happens, it’s redundant to say he’s special. Anyone can see it. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDiffuse and rambling at times, An Animated Life, which sometimes has the feel of a tribute film shown at an award gala, is not as compelling as such similarly themed docs as "Waking Sleeping Beauty" and "Frank and Ollie." But it nonetheless serves as an entertaining salute to an unsung figure whose considerable accomplishments well deserve recognition. |
| The Young FolksNathanael Hood... I felt like I was learning about the legend of Floyd Norman, not the man himself. |
| User ReviewJeff LAn excellent movie about an amazing guy. Well worth watching. |
