Episode 106: Phoenix Fan Fusion 2023 Panel | “Animation IS Cinema” (LIVE)

Listen Now!!

“This is an art form that has been kept commercially and industrially at the kids’ table for so long, … animation is not a genre for kids. It’s a medium. Animation is film. Animation is art, and it can tell stories that are gorgeous and complex, and that feel handmade by humans for humans. Animation is pure cinema and animators should be treated as artists — not technicians.”
