Grown Up is a 1993 7 minute 16mm short animated film by Joanna Priestley,[1] using drawings on paper, pixellated hands and object animation.
Grown Up takes a humorous and poignant look at what it means to be turning 40 and growing older.
The film was re-released on DVD in 2006 by Microcinema International.
[2] “In a time when everyone seems to be writing about aging, Priestley does a brilliant job of reclaiming 40 and her own process of middle aging with humor, optimism and an award winning animation style that just might make twenty-somethings wish they were older.” -Bill Foster, Northwest Film Center Selected Festivals: New York Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Northwest Film and Video Festival:
