Star Wars: Visions Season 2 Reveals Studios, Date, Titles

This year’s Star Wars Day should be very special for animation fans. Because on May 4th, Star Wars: Visions season 2 will hit Disney+. The acclaimed compilation of animated shorts inspired by the Star Wars universe featured primarily Japanese anime studios the first time around; for the second, things get even more international. In a new graphic and announcement, StarWars.com revealed just who they’ll be, with at least one name sounding very familiar:

Aardman should be familiar to many readers as the UK-based animation company working primarily in clay animation on the likes of Chicken Run and Wallace and Gromit. Ireland’s Cartoon Saloon, meanwhile, made the multi-award nominated The Secret of Kells, WolfWalkers, and The Breadwinner.

Here’s a list of the shorts’ titles, along with the director names and studio:

“Sith.” Studio: El Guiri. Writer-director: Rodrigo Blaas (Trollhunters)

“Screecher’s Reach.” Studio: Cartoon Saloon. Director: Paul Young (Producer of My Father’s Dragon, WolfWalkers, The Secret of Kells, Song of the Sea, and The Breadwinner.)

“In the Stars.” Studio: Punkrobot. Writer-director: Gabriel Osorio (animated short Oscar winner “Bear Story”).

“I Am Your Mother.” Studio: Aardman. Director: Magdalena Osinska (Spirits of the Piano, Zbigniev’s Cupboard).
