Intro
WRITTEN BY AN ANIMATOR -
FOR ANIMATORS
This blog is created to document and inspire all involved in bringing life to characters and inanimate objects. We cover everything from computer generated animation, VFX, stop motion and even puppets.
Hello, My name is Angie and I live and work in Los Angeles, creating animation for film and commercials for the past 17 years.
Jamie Oliff and myself wrote
THINKING ANIMATION:
the Gap Between 2D and CG
2006 and started this blog to promote it. My co-author - Jamie Oliff - reads the blog regularly, but is a bit challenged typing on a keyboard...so, he is here in spirit.

I'm sorry, but based on this trailer, Pixar's future doesn't look too bright.
The old man design just seems cluttered and unappealing to me.
And that boy Scout looks like he belings with the other humanoid blobs in Wall E.
Prediction: Monsters and Aliens will gross 1.5X times more money that this film.
Not that Monsters and Aliens looks too good, either.
Looks like a fun, whimsical movie!
