Monster House is a film I’ve come to appreciate a lot more as I get older, and this is definitely a part of it.
Oh yeah, at no point is Nibblecracker’s love for Constance treated as a joke. The film makes it so clear how much he loved her and vice versa. It’s so heartbreaking :(

Columbo is a perfect counter because the dynamic he fights against is what Light is, someone too arrogant and convoluted for their own good. Light is still a teenager with a god complex and Columbo’s attitude would get under his skin.

Hardest shot? You had a machine hastily staple together a bunch of scenes from the Matrix then put a basic cartoon filter over it.
Are you for fucking real? How is anyone dumb enough to buy this garbage.
Here's probably one of the hardest shots I've ever attempted
1) Two characters
2) Two different race of humans (prompt bleeding)
3) Very fast paced with a lot of motion
Was very fun and I learned a lot. Also develop a bunch of new workflow

For younger people wanting to go into animation, this is the old-school way. Rolling paper.

Jiri Trnka is one of my biggest influences and in his heyday was revered as the Walt Disney of Easter European animation. I strongly implore young artists to study his work.

Jiří Trnka is one of the greatest artists ever to work in stop motion. But he's nearly unknown today.
So, our latest issue is a brief introduction to his career, with links to watch key films and scenes along the way:

It doesn’t matter how skilled you are. If no one wants to be around you, no one wants to work with you, no one will hire you.
This isn’t a people skill issue either. Don’t be a jerk; cooperate and empathize. A lot of work is collaborative, you are not king of the hill.

You’ll notice quickly a lot of people’s idea of activism is through consumption.
Don’t stan that person, stan this person.
Don’t consume that product, consume this product. And etc.
That’s not activism, it’s just petty fan squabbles diluting what are very serious situations.

If you’re looking to be an animator, work in the industry, or just love art in general then please check out this movie.
The film’s not really about story, but more the spectacle of art and animation. An unfortunately unfinished masterpiece by one of the greatest animators.
"The Thief and the Cobbler : A Moment in Time" (director's cut version by late Richard Williams) is screened today at the Academy Museum (LA).
I'm still hoping for a Blu-ray (& fix of rights/distribution issues), because these screenings are too rare.
