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.”

In this special episode recorded LIVE at ⁠PHOENIX FAN FUSION 2023⁠, Marc is joined by guest hosts: ⁠Aaron Hudson⁠, ⁠Laurence Greatrex⁠, and ⁠Ted Sowards⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Dismissed as “just for kids” and relegated to the status of a genre rather than a versatile medium, animation has so much more to offer. Delving into this topic, examining the ways in which animation is often misunderstood, and discussing its incredible potential capable of expressing complex ideas and emotions.

Also discussed: Guillermo del Toro, Don Bluth, voice acting⁠⁠⁠, animation trivia, plus much, much more…⁠⁠⁠⁠
