The Genie Of Pencil And Paper...

The Animation Podcast has part one of an interview with Eric Goldberg, who those that don't know animated the Genie in "Aladdin. His Rhapsody in Blue segment of Fantasis 2000 was one of my favorite bits of that film. He's currently working on animating a jazz loving alligator named Louis in a little film that comes out next year called: "The Princess and the Frog"

What Does An Animator Sound Like?

No, that's not the beginning of a joke...

If you're a fan of animation and love animators like myself, then perhaps you should check out the Animation Podcast blog. They have many, many interviews with animators from throughout Disney's history. From Glen Keane to Burny Mattinson to Milt Kahl, you'll find something there for any animation fan. I tend to listen to these interviews while typing or doing other work and it's a joy to hear the wisdom of some of these great talents.
