Will Finn has definitely animated a movie from your childhood.Joining the industry in 1979, despite being told that Animation was dead. He sweated his way up the ranks, being taught by the last remnants of the Nine Old Men. Nobody knew where the industry was going but having put in the work through the difficult period, he was ready to sink his teeth into great characters during the renaissance, like Cogsworth or Iago. Getting to talk to Will is such an amazing treat for me, he’s such a deep

When I think of the words play and animation, two words come to mind: Robot Chicken. A show from the insanely talented folks at Stoopid Buddy Studios. Animator and Studio Founder, Eric Towner, shares his story of moving to LA, finding a stop motion animation job on Craigslist which ultimately led him to working on the second season of Robot Chicken, and from there, becoming one of the lead creatives at the studio. Sitting down with Eric was an incredible treat for me, I’ve always wanted to know

Three time Oscar nominated director, Tomm Moore has been drawing for decades, but he has never stopped growing. Recently, after the release of Wolfwalkers, he took a sabbatical to study Life Drawing in Paris and Amsterdam, seeing his growth is inspiring. Having Tomm on the podcast again was a huge privilege for me. Last February, I ventured down to Kilkenny to pick his brain about the nature of drawing. Originally this was intended to be a short discussion that I could pull moments from, but I loved

Character design and Illustration titan, Peter de Sève is nervous about A.I. Not for its capabilities but because studios are so driven by the bottom line, they’ll lean on the tool more rather than human imagination. There’s an epidemic of generic character design in the industry at the moment and de Sève wants to fight it. Speaking to Peter on the podcast today was a huge honour of mine. He breaks down his incredible career, Illustrating for the New Yorker to moving across to animation starting

Rotoscoping is far from dead, and these two men prove it. Co-Directors of The Spine of Night, Morgan Galen King (Mongrel, Exordium) and Philip Gelatt (Europa Report, Love, Death and Robots) join me to discuss the cult film that hasn’t left them since childhood, Heavy Metal. Getting to share in conversation with them about Heavy Metal was a dream come true. The passion, thoughtfulness and humour they approach the film through was a joy to witness, especially as their suggestion of the film finally

Unique storytelling and eccentric animation are two ways to describe the work of Janina Putzker. She is a powerhouse of professional animation while ensuring her work maintains the highest standard that i looks effortless. It truly appears that she fears no style . Speaking to Jani on the podcast today was a great pleasure of mine.

Visual development and concept artist who has worked with some of the biggest brands in the world. Kamille Rogriguez is a thoughtful, passionate and incredibly hard working artist. It didn’t come easy to her but she knew if she didn’t pursue her art, she would always regret it. It’s my true pleasure to speak to Kamille on the podcast today. Her choice caught me off guard, but I was delighted to revisit Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest. I’m grateful to have shared this discussion with her about: -

Illustrator, character designer and self professed happy man, Jeremy Hoffman. To see Jeremy’s work, is to see joy. A playful sense of observation and imagination expressing itself through a heavily practiced hand. It’s my great privilege to welcome Jeremy onto the podcast today. His passion is infectious. What shocked me when I first spoke to Jeremy is that he only started drawing again when he was 40, he’s 47 now. I’m grateful to have shared this discussion with him about - rediscovering

This was recorded in the Summer before the recent bloodshed in Gaza. When I first saw Jana Kattan’s graduate film, Checkpoint I was struck by the authenticity in which she weaved a simple story filled with heartbreak. There is a reality integral to Checkpoint I couldn’t articulate but it made me pay attention to her strong, honest and empathetic voice. As she describes, she only became aware she was Palestinian later in her life and the search for an identity that came with that has lent her an

Space Patrol Luluco is a quintessential artistic declaration from Japanese animation Studio Trigger. Though lesser known, and not as critically acclaimed as other work by the team and Studio, it remains a fresh and fun mini series that never falls shy of its promise. Made on a small scale with a smaller budget, it's endlessly inspiring to younger studios who also want to put their mark on the world.

Welcome back to Animator's Breakfast. This month we're talking about one of my favourite Animated features of all time, the sleeping titan that is The Prince of Egypt. Dreamwork's defiant call to the western world of animation that Disney isn't the only studio in town. Originally pitched as The Ten Commandments but animated, it took a dedicated team from the relatively new division in Dreamworks Animation to craft this masterpiece, and I'm not the only one who thinks it's a masterpiece, so does

Welcome back to Animator's Breakfast. This month we're diving deep into the world of French animator, Sylvain Chomet and his foray into feature film making. A tour de force, while looking a the tour de France, it's impossible to narrow The Triplets of Belleville down to a succinct description, rather it's a story that needs to be witnessed. I was lucky that Cliona chose it as her inspiring touchstone. I've been a big fan of Cliona Noonan ever since I saw her short film, Wet and Soppy. It's a

He’s most famous for redesigning Mickey Mouse into the character model we know today.
