Description:
When a teenage boy visits his Gramps at a seemingly mundane boring assisted living facility, he comes to find that they have much more in common than he thought. “Wednesdays with Gramps” is a story about connection, communication, and commonality, without saying a word.
Additional Information:
Drawing on the audience’s familiarity with concepts of pixels and polygons through classic and modern games, DreamWorks Animation used a mixture of 3d and 2d tools and techniques (including Premo and Moonray) to capture the unique aesthetic for the world of “Wednesdays With Gramps.”
