  • Blog Post: Toon Tuesday: Making Magic in the Digital Age

    Is it just me or has animated cartoon film making finally evolved into something else? With motion pictures like " Rango " and " The Adventures of Tintin " finding a home in the Academy Awards animated film category I can't help but wonder how these movies are all that different...

  • Blog Post: Toon Tuesday: The Wow Factor

    I’ve often been asked this goofy question. “How would you run an animation studio if you were in charge?” Questions like this come from young people who assume I have answers. The truth is, I’m not in that position, and I don’t expect to be. However, I once ran my own business...

  • Blog Post: Toon Tuesday : My favorite Geekathon -- Comic-Con International

    There was a stack of Disney animation cels on the table. And -- had I known better -- I would have bought them all. The price was low enough back then. Who knew that a decade or so later these things would be selling for hundreds of dollars and more? There were more bargains to be had. Eager fans would...

  • Blog Post: Toon Tuesday : Remembering Fred Lucky of WDFA's Story Department (1938 - 1999)

    You could hardly call it a competition. But back in the early seventies, two feature films were being developed at the Walt Disney Studios. Ultimately, only one project would be given the green light for production. F-Wing was on the second floor of the Animation Building. And at the far end of the wing...
