Stunning Trailer For LOVING VINCENT The First Fully Oil Painted Feature Film
When we talk about animated features, we often think about family-friendly movies brought to us by Disney and Pixar, but now we're getting a look at something like we've never seen before. Loving Vincent is not only an animated biopic about painter Vincent Van Gogh, but it is also the first fully oil painted feature film.
Each of the 65,000 frames of this movie were hand painted by more than 125 artists over the course of six years. Loving Vincent stars Saoirse Ronan, Aidan Turner, Douglass Booth, Chris O’Dowd, and Helen McCrory.
Here is the synopsis:

Drawn from meticulous research and inspired by van Gogh’s masterpieces, subjects, and 800 personal letters, LOVING VINCENT captures the world of van Gogh in a cinematic experience like no other.
