I hope so
It's certainly starting out strong!!

Yes please!
Yes, animation comes strongly. Glady in production of my fantasy story as animated series. Such a fantastic road to travel!
I came across this video from several years go that outlines the process for making an animated movie, they go into the steps from storyboard to render. With the power of personal computers so much can be done with the right people and some know-how. Working with a team is so powerful because each s...

Is AI bad or good? I can't tell you, but I think the disadvantages or benefits of a technology will show in the way how it is going to be used. I recently stumbled upon this article about Showrunner. It's an app that introduces you to animated shows and allows you to create more stories inside the w...

It will definitely be interesting to see if AI animation has serious legs. Think creating high quality content that can/will engage broad audiences is much harder than many seem to believe it is. Also...

Pat Alexander, I agree with you on your last point. For now, it seems that the target users of the app will be non-professional animation fans, who want to play around with ideas for the series presen...

While you master your craft and hone your skills, broader considerations, and deeper understandings of how to...

Great video! I can tell he’s a teacher.
One thing that goes hand in hand with timing is staging… how do we tell the story by what we see, in what order, in what position. You direct the eyes of the au...

I loved this so much that I subscribed to the channel. Thank you for sharing, Daniel Husbands!
I don't animate as much as I'd like to, but it's already changed the way I view animations that I watch. A great channel to learn from!
I love this. It's funny. I teach this heavily in my Applied 2D animation classes but I rarely follow it myself. Once in a while for unfamiliar movement. I need to start making this a committed habit.
This juggernaut franchise shows no signs of slowing down. This movie might pace summer 2026's box office like Inside Out 2 has done thus far this summer. Thoughts? https://deadline.com/2024/07/shrek-5-release-date-set-eddie-murphy-mike-......

I completely agree with you, Tom Lapke. I enjoyed Toy Story 4, it made me laugh and it was fun. But as a kid who grew up alongside Andy and that franchise, it felt like a real conclusion to the story...

Incredible, the gift that keeps on giving :)
If they build it the people will come.
Mike Boas I agree. 3 things we have to all remember. 1.) There are kids who have not seen these franchisees and may not check out the old ones until they see a new one. 2.) these sequels keep us worki...

It'll be an interesting experiment for sure. Crunchyroll's had 3 anime films in the top-65 of the box office so far this year. Could this move juice the numbers a bit more for them? Possibly. It defin...

Wouldn't doubt at all that it's partially an awareness, exposure and branding play, Pat Alexander
Keep an eye out for this upcoming doc series about Tim Burton. Not sure where it will land, but will probably be streaming late this year or early next. The first episode just showed at Tribeca this week.

Me too!
Thank you Mike Boas
He's done a lot of work, interested to see what they do with it. Thanks Mike Boas
This is so exciting! My husband was able to see the Tim Burton exhibit at the LACMA years ago and I was so jealous that I missed it. I'm looking forward to this docu-series.
Now Tim Burton is seriously a man I want to understand how his mind works!
Did anyone see Inside Out 2 over the weekend? I saw it and liked it a lot.The box office numbers were outstanding, and we could be looking at a summer where animation rescues the box office, depending on what Despicable Me 4 does in a couple weeks.
This is huge for animation and huge for the industry as a whole.
People still love their animated movies, and original, lovable characters. I think if studios continue to innovate and build off of previous successes we'll see a lot more in the near future.
Inside Out 2 had a $155MM opening, Brian Smith. Wow! Based on the Despicable Me franchise box office, I think Despicable Me 4 is gonna be a box office superhit.
I love that animation is getting all the love so far this summer. I haven't had a chance to see Inside Out 2 yet, but I'm really excited to!
Animation is not just an art form that appeals, but appeals and always have impacted, young and developing minds! It's why I'm paying tribute to it in my film, being all about the beauty and captivati...
