This year, the Festival pays tribute to a favorite children's book author, illustrator and television series creator; celebrates diversity, equality, family and friendship; and features magical journeys celebrating courage, perseverance and self-reliance, along with other important lessons in a program that includes live-action and animation, short films and feature-length works for audiences of any age.
