I had the pleasure of working on the Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart. Such a bittersweet experience. Venture Bros. Was such a huge part of NY animation for so many years. Sad to see it end but it was awesome getting to work on the final feature film.

This was on of the Handy Dandy factory BG’s I painted. Design by EZ (my apologies for not having the full name)

SS/O to Chris Fisher for welcoming me on the team and for your help throughout the production

I 99% bet that Shrek 5 will include the song "I'm in love with a Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak.

Katy Caterpillar (Video, 1984)

Adorable Spanish-Mexican animated film. You can watch a promo for it here, and watch the whole film on YouTube here.

just watched the trailer for The Wild Robot and I'm always hesitant to get my hopes up with movies nowadays but I think we might have another dreamworks banger on our hands

'Leo' Review

#Leo Review: "The team balanced middle-school humour w heartfelt lessons to make this a well-rounded feature for the whole family. The songs are the principal aspect of this film bc you can thread many ideas with lyrics that can connect to the audience."

By: Amanda Guarragi There is something special about an animated feature that can speak to children and adults. The ability to educate children about life and how to express their feelings while making it relatable for adults is no easy feat. Every adult has gone through something, and it has stemmed from childhood. Films that tell a universal coming-of-age story will affect everyone…

Hans Bacher's Style Guide for Mulan

It's focused primarily on describing how to achieve the visual aesthetic they were going for in the backgrounds for the film, but there are good pointers on design and composition for any student of the pictorial arts.

There's also a 1995 version which is interesting to compare ...

Unpopular opinion: as much as I LOVE Miyazaki’s work, I wouldn’t have picked The boy and the heron as the winner 😭 it wasn’t my first, my second nor my third choice. The animation was beautiful as always, but not innovative, and the story was all over the place. Spiderverse left me stuck to my seat, blown away by the story and the animation. Just thinking about Hobie who needed 3 different animations frame-rates is insane.

Sure, that new Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is on HBO Max. Why would you watch an epic CGI blockbuster when you can see my rotoscoped discount parody of not-Godzilla-for-legal-purposes-whoops-parody-covers-that fighting a neon pink, winged Kong-like purse monster climb atop the Empire State Building? Quite a run on sentence. Because it's that cool. And tacky, weird goodness. Watch your back, Adam Wingard, because this is the Godzilla fight scene everyone will be talking about tomorrow.

Watch The Eyes of Old Texas on my YouTube channel. The giant monster showdown begins around the 1 hour mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQQ0g0mQl70
