Natalie Labarre

2D
For Good
Animation
Natalie Labarre, a director with a blend of modern and old-school charm, honed her storytelling skills amidst NYC's hustle and the whimsy of Belgian comics. A School of Visual Arts alum, Natalie embraced the analog essence of animation, later melding it with digital finesse. Her journey with Hornet, from an intern to a revered director, mirrors her evolving animation style—each frame a canvas of painterly elegance.

‍

Her knack for evoking emotion through delicate animations shines in acclaimed PSA films like Me Too - Daniela and LLS - Grace. Natalie's work, a fusion of heartfelt storytelling and artful animation, continues to resonate, turning ordinary tales into gold.
