CRITIC’S PICK: Kids can come to grips with the intricacies of animation in this hands-on exhibit that features a sketching studio, storyboarding techniques, a sound effects booth and the ability to plan and act in a stop-motion production. A quirky cast of characters is provided for inspiration, as are props and various backdrops. The vibrant, whimsical exhibit allows kids - and adults - to get lost in the creative process, says Executive Director Edwin Link. “Animation is a captivating blend of art, math and science, so while kids will be delighted to see their creations come to life, parents will love that the exhibit gets their gears turning. In a movie town like Atlanta, it’s especially exciting to get families playing with the moving image.” — Kevin C. Madigan
