Congrats to all my friends over at @Pixar on their amazing work on #ToyStory5.
I loved it.
And oh my god it looked beautiful.

@animatorchris @DisneyAnimation The animators pantomime the hands and then hand it over to the fx department where they work their magic. No pun intended. It’s been a really fun dance between our departments on this movie.

Wow! Just because other people want to share theirs or other people online post spoilers doesn’t mean I’m ready to. I respect the enthusiasm. Trust me I’ll post them. Im just giving it a bit more time. Thanks for understanding.

[David Stodolny @stodoe]

This and other movies from this era made me want to become an #animator. I’m so grateful to be working with the #animators who were my inspiration as a kid.
I don’t work with Andreas but he’s come and lectured and inspired us numerous times.

@TvWatt Great question. I’ve wanted to do that sooner but all the shots I animated on the movie are big plot spoilers so I want to give it a bit more time. I didn’t animate a ton on it because I’ve been on Hexed since last year getting it ready to work on. But I got a few fun shots

[David Stodolny @stodoe]

Thanks for all the great questions.
I’m sure you all know I can’t speak to anything that hasn’t been officially released. But let’s just say, films are never done till they’re done. We’re always refining and tweaking and editing. And I’m LOVING where this one’s headed.

[David Stodolny @stodoe]

This is what our team has been working on for the past year. I’m so excited for this one.

[Disney Animation @DisneyAnimation]

Hailee Steinfeld is Billie and Rashida Jones is Alice in Disney’s #Hexed.

#HappyEaster everyone. Have a great day with your family and friends whether it’s at church or hunting for eggs or just having a day to reflect on life and how lucky we are to be alive.

Also here’s an Easter drawing I did many years ago in my youth.
