I've heard about the Disney radio show before, when someone was interviewing animator Mark Kausler. Sounds like a pleasant show to listen to on Sunday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI do want that new volume of Walt Kelly's "Our Gang" stories. It would help if I had the first three volumes as well. Thanks for posting Mark.
I've read a few different articles on the Montreal WB studio, some seem to mention it will be for 3D animation as well as video games, though it's never very clear.
ReplyDeleteEither way, good news for jobs. After THQ, that's 2 major video game studios in 6 months announcing an opening in Montreal.
