I know there is sequal fatigue but this cast is my favorite in all of animation. Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary & Queen Latifah? All legends in their first lives and brilliant on screen. Is anyone else excited about this? https://variety.com/2024/film/news/ice-age-6-ray-romano-john-leguizam...

Hello Stage 32 community :)
A few years back I started "Drunk Robots" as a passion project, experimenting with NFTs and it quickly evolved into something much bigger.

You have to check out this great video from Corridor Crew, where they sat down with veteran Animator and Director David Silverman to discuss his lifelong career helping to create "The Simpsons." It's an awesome watch!

Ashley Renee Smith the list just got longer!
Chris Sanders, director of the Wild Robot, was on this week’s episode of The Business. Great interview that touches on 2d vs CG, why Disney characters don’t have mothers, and working with voice actors.
