This is a must-read (written by @ASterling) Thanks for sharing @amid

Just read The Disney Revolt by Jake Friedman. Definitely one of the most interesting books on the golden age of animation. Not only do we get close to the main characters, Walt Disney and Art Babbitt, but Friedman gives a colorful picture of a world in change. @jakesfriedman

@KNGjosund Hehe - 6-åringen er en god detektiv! Kyllingen er en figur jeg laget som 10-åring, og den gjemmer seg stadig vekk i tegningene mine! Moro at den er oppdaget 🐣

[Ward Kimball Biography @wardkimball]

Happy Birthday, Ward Kimball, born on this day in 1914! A new biography, unlike any animation biography you've ever seen, will be out in 2023. It's called “If It Ain't Fun, To Hell With It! Ward Kimball's Adventures in Disney, Jazz, Trains, and the Avant-Garde”

«I do believe in the power of story. I believe that stories have an important role to play in the formation of human beings, that they can stimulate, amaze, and inspire their listeners»

Happy 80th Birthday Hayao Miyazaki!

@NickJohnWeller I’ve animated different kind of animals over the years (and studied a trot some weeks ago, actually). Highly recommend The Animators Survival Kit by @RWAnimator in companion with the Eadweard Muybridge books on animal and human movements. Pure gold!

@NickJohnWeller @tommmoore Thank you! Wonderful to hear that!

[Hans Jørgen Sandnes @hjsandnes]

@JacksonLennox3 Ah, that’s wonderful! I even wondered if Joe Gardner might have gotten his name from Joe Grant and Joe Ranft?

[Hans Jørgen Sandnes @hjsandnes]

@kinderfilmblog Thanks a lot! Yes, I’ve seen excerpts of the movie – it looks really good. Would love to have it in Norwegian!

[Hans Jørgen Sandnes @hjsandnes]

Read «DIE DREI RÄUBER» for my sons today. Wonderful #childrensbook by the multi-talented #TomiUngerer. Just had to make a quick #sketch!

[Hans Jørgen Sandnes @hjsandnes]

#Wolfwalkers from @CartoonSaloon and #Soul from @Pixar were the BEST gifts this Christmas! Two animated masterpieces that push the boundaries of visual storytelling. Thank you for the inspiration @tommmoore & @DocterPete !

Am I the only one who wants an “animators setting” on Disney Plus so I can scrub through animation? Whadya say @disneyplus !?
