BBC News, Latitude Festival
The author and illustrator won the award for best animated short film for The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse, which was adapted from his hugely successful book of the same name.Charlie Mackesy shared this image with his 1.8 million Instagram followers just before he won an Oscar The 60-year-old worked from a barn in Suffolk, collaborating with 130 animators during 3,000 hours of Zoom calls across two years to create the film, in which every frame was hand drawn.He thanked the "brave and kind" people who "tolerated him for two years" during his Oscars speech
"At the top of each page in the script I wrote why we were making the film - to create something that makes people feel a bit less alone and more themselves."The self-taught artist attempted university twice but left to travel to the US where he spent three months training under a portrait painter. Mackesy says the boy is loosely based on him, the mole was inspired by his beloved and greedy 14-year-old dog Barney, the fox is Mackesy's anxious part and the horse is a wise soul.
It was during the pandemic when one of his drawings went viral that Mackesy's life really started to change.
