A French 2D animated film that tells the legend of an American West figure, Martha Jane Canary-Burke. The animated feature focuses on Martha’s childhood, portraying her as an emancipated, free-spirited girl with great character. It stands out for its minimalist 2D technique, with certain traits of Impressionism and pastel colors that flow with a purity of style, giving it a pictorial imprint. This approach to line and color enhances wide and panoramic shots, showcasing the beauty of the vast North American plains of the Old West, although the close-ups may appear a bit rough.
Calamity, une enfance de Martha Jane Cannary is an emotional, well-told animated tale—a family adventure story that maintains tension and never bores. Clearly, Chayé’s work is a tribute to the Western genre, and it especially recalls Wellman’s legendary film Westward the Women, where, as in this story, women are the protagonists forging their own destiny.
