Don’t miss this rare chance to meet an animation legend. The tender true story Hello Maggie! illuminates the friendship between a bird named Maggie and a young boy, Shig, as his family struggles to survive at the WWII Heart Mountain internment camp in Wyoming. Based on Shigeru Yabu’s children’s book—and informed by Ito’s own childhood experiences in the internment camps—the film brings history to life through animation. From Lady and the Tramp to The Jetsons and Hong Kong Phooey, Ito’s work shaped generations. Afterward, stay for a discussion with Willie Ito and Kevin Sandler, Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies at ASU.
