Animated Short: A Song for the Whales

Watch the Animated Short: A Song for the Whales, Lorenzo Fresta’s second year film made at CalArts. Walt Disney conceived of a new school for nurturing future generations of creative talent: a multidisciplinary “community of the arts” built around the real-life experience of working artists instead of the conventions of the academy. Walt and his brother Roy started making this vision a reality in 1961 when they formed California Institute of the Arts through the merger of two existing L.A. schools for art and music.
