Check out the stop-motion films made by 8–12-year-old animators. They made them at the third #MetKids Animation Lab, held April 2–6, 2018! Kids explored the theme of composite, or hybrid, creatures depicted in art from around the world. The animators worked in teams to create short videos that address the question: How would these superheroes solve a problem faced by New Yorkers?

The Metropolitan Museum of Art welcomes all visitors and affirms its commitment to offering programs and services that are accessible to everyone.


Transcript

They think of a plan to clean the river and get rid of the Sphinx.

They also remember that the Sphinx's weakness is mineral water!
