MUSEUM OF TELEVISION & RADIO SEMINAR SERIES, THE: EVERYBODY RIDES THE CAROUSEL WITH FAITH HUBLEY {LONG VERSION}
Summary
One in this series of seminars conducted by The Museum of Television & Radio. In this seminar, moderated by the Museum's television curator David Bushman, Faith Hubley introduces "Everbody Rides the Carousel," a film produced by her and her late husband, John Hubley. This animated film depicts, through brief vignettes, the eight stages of life defined by psychiatrist Erik H. Erikson. Animation techniques illustrate the inner conflicts of people as they journey through the various stages. Sketches depict the following stages of development: trust versus mistrust, which shows how infants gain faith in others; autonomy versus shame and doubt, which depicts how toddlers gain their independence; initiative versus guilt, which explores how children further their independence by going after what they want while battling their need to be good; competence versus inferiority, which depicts the importance of success to a school-age child; identity versus role confusion, which uses an amusement park setting to show the struggles teenagers must endure in order to find themselves; intimacy versus isolation, which depicts young adults as they face their need for and fear of commitment; generativity versus stagnation, which explores the hardships of raising children; and integrity versus despair, which depicts how two different couples deal with being old. After the screening, questions from the audience lead to Faith Hubley's comments on the following topics: her reaction to watching the film; her experience working with students at Yale during the creation of the film; the people who did voices for the film; creating the dialogue; working with CBS; and Erik Erikson's involvement with the film.
