Short trip to London focused on visual worlds — Wes Anderson aesthetics, the Warner Brothers backlot, and a stage adaptation of My Neighbor Totoro.
Warner Brothers Studios
The Harry Potter studio tour remains one of the best production design experiences available. Walking through the Great Hall, Diagon Alley, and the actual sets gives a completely different appreciation for how these worlds were built.
Wes Anderson Exhibition
The exhibition captured his signature symmetry, pastel palettes, and obsessive set design in a way that translated surprisingly well from screen to physical space.
My Neighbor Totoro
Seeing the stage version was the highlight. The puppetry and set design managed to capture the quiet magic of the film without feeling like a theme park attraction.
