Filmmaker pushes
children’s books
by making movies
WESTON, Conn. (AP) — Once
upon a dme, a filmmaker lived in a
log house in the middle of a forest.
The filmmaker, Morton Schindel,
had a special love for children’s
books, especially those with rich sto
ries and colorful pictures. And he
wanted lots of children to love the
books as much as he did.
So, Schindel decided to make
movies out of the books, by meticu
lously following their plots, dialogue
and illustrations. In the past three
decades, his company has distrib
uted about 350 of them, and earned
a quiet recognition around the
world.
Children who knew characters
such as Mr. and Mrs. Mallard from
Robert McCloskey’s “Make Way for
Ducklings” or Max from Maurice
Sendak’s “Where the Wild Things
Are” met them again on the screen.
Sometimes, children saw the charac
ters first in the movies and then
sought them out in the books.
That’s part of Schindel’s plan.
“We want to lead the children
back to the books,” he says. “The
payoff is when the parents sit down
and read a book, any book, to their
children.”
In 1953, Schindel formed a pri
vate company called Weston Woods,
anchoring it in 27 acres of forest in
southwestern Connecticut. One of
his main collaborators became Gene
Deitch, a director and animator who
works in Czechoslovakia.
Many of Weston Woods’ films are
animated and accompanied by origi
nal music. Schindel also developed
an iconographic filming technique
— where a story’s illustrations are
moved in front of a stationary cam
era, as if a child were hovering over
the book.
“I wanted to use my skill as a
filmmaker primarily to commu
nicate the contents of books to chil
dren, rather than using the books as
a starting point for my own cre
ations,” Schindel wrote in 1981.
Librarians and teachers grew to
love Weston Woods. Captain Kanga
roo showed some of its films on his
popular television show. The films
made their way to many other coun
tries, translated into languages such
as Welsh, Hebrew and Japanese.
Weston Woods based many of its
films on award-winning books, while
the films themselves also have gath
ered honors. “Doctor DeSoto,” from
the book by William Steig and an
imated by Michael Sporn, got an
Academy Award nomination for
best animated short film in 1985.
Weston Woods has branched out
— packaging some of its films as ve
hicles that schools can use to teach
critical thinking. Schindel’s current
project is developing a television se
ries, which he hopes may begin air
ing nationally via a cable station next
fall.
Since Christmas 1985, Weston
Woods films also have been sold on
videotapes for home viewing, under
the CC (for Children’s Circle) Stu
dios label.
Peggy Charren, president of the
lobbying group Action for Chil
dren’s Television, says not enough
parents know about quality videos
for children. She puts Weston
Woods on the top of her list of good
filmmakers for children.
Louisiana will use
logo to distinguish
products as Cajun
LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — Loui
siana mixed Germans, Italians, Irish
and Spaniards into French-speaking
Acadiana, but some of the things
sold as Cajun today are almost heret-
ically foreign to their palates.
For instance, there was the nation
ally advertised booklet of recipes
based on a “Cajun” sauce of two
parts Italian salad dressing to one
part American barbecue sauce.
‘“No. No. That’s not Cajun,” said
Alex Chachere, who says his name,
although pronounced very much
like the Italian “Cecere,” is a combi
nation of the French “Vacherie” and
another old French name he can’t
recall.
Gerald Breaux of the Lafayette
Tourist and Convention Bureau said
that recipe booklet was one of the
things that prodded him into devel
oping a logo to proclaim that prod
ucts are certified Cajun.
Chachere, president of Creole
Foods of Opelousas Inc., said, “I
haven’t heard of it. But I would
probably be interested in looking at
it, thinking about it.”
Breaux said another prompt to
action was a deluge of requests for
Cajun recipes and information
about Acadiana, brought on by the
Cajun cooking craze.
So he and Larry Sides, whose
company has the state Office of
Tourism advertising account, got
their heads together.
“You’re seeing a whole lot of
products adopting the name Cajun
when in fact they’re nothing close to
what we would call Cajun in Loui
siana,” said Sides, whose company
developed the logo.
“There is a lot of pride in Aca
diana,” he said. “And we wanted to
offer a logo that companies in this
area of Louisiana can use to point
with pride and say, ‘This is a product
of Cajun Louisiana.’ ”
Which, minus the words “This is,”
is what is written on the logo soon to
be seen on products including a
pungent garlic sauce, T-shirts and
corrugated cardboard boxes.
The words are in fat book-style
capitals set beneath a white-on-color,
woodcut-style drawing of a young
man wearing a flat-brimmed hat and
playing a small accordion.
A few weeks ago, Sides and Asso
ciates settled on the final design and
gave all rights to it to the Tourist and
Convention Bureau, the Acadiana
Manufacturers Association, the La
fayette Chamber of Commerce and
the Lafayette Economic Devel
opment Authority.
Those four organizations grant
the right to use the logo in pack
aging, on signs, on company vehicles
and in other ways.
Location is the main requirement
for permission to use the logo. It’s
only for products made in 22 of
Louisiana’s 64 parishes — those des
ignated by the Legislature as Aca
diana.
By and large, Acadiana is a trian
gle with a base from the southwest
corner of Louisiana to Lafourche
and St. Charles parishes — east of
New Orleans but not bordering it. It
includes parishes on both sides of
the Mississippi River up to East Ba
ton Rouge, which is not part of Aca
diana, and on up to Avoyelles Par
ish, where the Red and Black rivers
meet.
Companies given permission to
use the logo can either get copies
free from one of the four licensing
groups or get a camera-ready sheet
with all the sizes available from Sides
for $25 —- a break-even cost, he said.
“It’s interesting that while most
companies that responded to use the
logo are in food, the very first com
pany to get on-line and use it man
ufactures cardboard boxes,” Sides
said.
Cajun craze
going strong
with Dixie Beer
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — You
can’t get Dixie Beer in any New Or
leans bars, but if you know where to
go you can find it in places like Lon
don and New York.
The little New Orleans brewery
that produces the beer is cashing in
on the Cajun craze and is going ev
erywhere that hot south Louisiana
cooking goes.
“Paul Prudhomme (the Cajun
chef) takes us with him everywhere,”
said Kendra Elliott Bruno, owner of
Dixie Brewery.
The brew now is sold in 18 states
and is getting repeat orders from
London, she said.
As it expands, the company is re
placing its unpopular Dixie Light
brand with a new brew called Dixie
Amber Light, a slightly darker light
beer that began appearing in bars
and on grocery shelves last week.
It is made to the recipe of Dr. Joe
Owades, the chemist who concocted
the world’s first light recipe and has
made 11 more lights and a variety of
specialty beers since then.
That first experiment, made for
Rheingold in 1967, was a failure, but
the formula worked its way through
the system until it ended up at
Miller. It still is used for Lite Beer,
one of the great success stories of the
beverage industry.
Bruno said she hopes the new
light will help her tiny operation
ick up New Orleans sales, which
ave dropped to I percent from a
high of 26 percent in the early
1960’s.
The new light uses premium se
lect roasted malt (which Bruno says
produces a crisper, smoother flavor)
and unique European-style, Loui-
siana-cypress fermentors that allow
more robust flavors to develop.
“Dixie has a certain mystique and
a rapidly growing national follow
ing,” Bruno said.
