Directed by Baobab Studios co-founder Eric Darnell (Antz, the Madagascar films) and co-directed by Mathias Chelebourg, Baba Yaga is a contemporary portrayal of the Eastern European legend inspired by illustrative 2D pop-up animation, as well as hand-drawn and stop-motion styles, creating a modern visual language for VR inspired by classic animation. Leveraging the talents of the studio’s Emmy award-winning pioneers in immersive storytelling, Baba Yaga blends theater, cinema, and animation into a unique experience that explores themes of female empowerment and environmentalism. Learn about how the studio tackled their greatest challenge yet, and how Baobab makes the audience matter within the story through a live moderated discussion and Q&A with Director Eric Darnell, Producer and Co-Founder Maureen Fan, Producer and CTO Larry Cutler, and Producer and Head of Content Kane Lee.
