I’m so happy that the film “Fixed” that I had the chance to animate on with such a talented group of artists, has finally found a home and release date! Netflix will air the feature animated film on August 13,2025.

Feeling grateful for the opportunity to have dedicated a decade to animating at the studio founded by these two young visionaries a century ago. Happy 100th, Walt!

Born on this day in 1909: Disney animation legend Milt Kahl. In this photo, Milt (at far left) is explaining one of the finer points of filmmaking to fellow animator Ollie Johnston. Learn more about his work at https://t.co/70kN9EuLEZ

In this pencil test from Brother Bear, I had to keep Kenai's excitement building as he discovered a sense of belonging in his new "family".

Enjoy!

Recently, I ran across these thumbnails that I had done for a scene on brother Bear. This particular scene had a camera that would fly around Kenai as he reacted to the bears playing in the water around him. ⁠I animated Kenai.

These scenes were split up among a few different animators and I animated Lilo and Stitch. She was only a foot tall on the big screen -lol! ⁠⁠

@fallingwren 👍🏼Hey Charlie! You got it! ;)

[Gregg Azzopardi @GreggAzzopardi]

Do you remember where this scene happened in Lilo and Stitch? ⁠
⁠
Lilo was very tiny in this scene but was animated much bigger for better resolution.⁠

Here's a flip through of the keys and Breakdowns for the Opening of Curious George. It was the exact scene as the opener of Lilo and Stitch 😄⁠

⁠Here are a few of the keys that I had saved photocopies of before the scene was hauled off to the Cleanup Department , and then the Disney Archives :)⁠

It was my first take on the opening title of lilo and Stitch! It was such an honor to be cast on Lilo, and have the opportunity to animate this scene while working with one of my animation heroes Andreas Deja. :)⁠

@PUPPINcaeks Thank you for the follow and kind words!

[Gregg Azzopardi @GreggAzzopardi]

@BaldMelonTim Thank you! I actually had to find a service to do it. Most if the tapes were in bad shape.

[Gregg Azzopardi @GreggAzzopardi]

It has been crazy going through these old 3/4 tapes. I'm finding animation that I had completely forgotten about.
