ज़्वार्टे पीट, या 'ब्लैक पीट,' गुलामी के दौर की एक कुप्रथा है। यह ऐसी चीज़ है जिसे बहुत पहले खत्म कर दिया जाना चाहिए था, और यह नीदरलैंड के अश्वेत लोगों के लिए बेहद अपमानजनक है। मुझे इस बात पर हैरानी होती है कि यह आज भी वजूद में है, लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि इसकी वजह दासप्रथा के इतिहास और इस किरदार की जड़ों के बारे में जानकारी और शिक्षा की कमी है।

Zwarte Piet, or 'Black Pete,' is a relic from slavery. It is something that should have long been eliminated, and it's very insulting to black Dutch people. It's shocking to me that it still exists, but I think it's about the lack of knowledge and education regarding the roots of the character in the slave trade.

किसी ने [अमेरिकी मिशनरी] रेवरेंड जोआना वाटसन को एक ईमेल भेजकर यह कह दिया कि मैं समलैंगिक (गे) हूँ, और उन्होंने वह ईमेल युगांडा के सभी समलैंगिक-विरोधी पादरियों को भेज दिया। उनमें से एक ने कहा, "हम इस बंदे को देख लेंगे।" जब वे लोग मेरे सामने आए तो मुझे नहीं पता था कि वे क्या करेंगे, लेकिन उन्होंने मुझ पर दुआएं पढ़नी शुरू कर दीं। उन्होंने कहा कि वे मुझे ठीक कर देंगे। ज़ाहिर है, वह सब काम नहीं आया।

They said they were going to cure me. That didn't work, of course.

फिल्म ['लाइफ, एनिमेटेड'] के अंत के करीब हम 'द साइडकिक्स स्टोरी' देखते हैं, और यह एक ऐसी कहानी है जिसे ओवेन ने खुद अपने हाथों से बनाया है। हमने उस शैली को अपनाया, जो डिज़नी एनिमेशन से काफी अलग है, और उसे इसका आधार बनाया। यह 'टू-डाईमेंशनल' यानी दो-आयामी हाथ से बनी एनिमेटेड शैली है, इसलिए मैं पेरिस की 'मैक गफ' नाम की कंपनी के पास गया, जहाँ उन्होंने युवा एनिमेटर्स की एक शानदार टीम तैयार की और इसे जीवंत कर दिया।

Toward the end of the film ['Life, Animated'] we see 'The Sidekicks Story,' and that is a story that Owen drew himself. We took that style, which is decidedly different from Disney animation, and used it as a basis. It's a 'two-dimensional' hand drawn animated form, so I went to this company in Paris called 'Mac Guff,' and they assembled an amazing group of young animators, and brought it to life.

जब मैंने पहली बार किसी गोरे डच व्यक्ति को 'ब्लैक पीट' के रूप में सजे-धजे देखा, तो मुझे घिन्न भी आई और झटका भी लगा। ऐसे किसी व्यक्ति के पास खड़ा होना मुश्किल हो जाता है जो आपकी त्वचा के रंग और बालों को एक महज़ पोशाक समझता है। एक फिल्मकार के रूप में, जब भी मुझे ऐसा अनुभव होता है, तो मैं यह टटोलना चाहता हूँ कि आखिर कौन सी चीज़ लोगों को इस तरह के अपमानजनक व्यवहार के लिए प्रेरित करती है और लोगों को इसकी जड़ों से अवगत कराना चाहता हूँ।

When I first saw a White Dutch person dressed up as Black Pete, I was both sickened and shocked. It's hard to stand next to someone who views your skin color and hair as a costume.

People identified with that journey, overcoming an obstacle, but still triumphing.
