On the menu this week: Val addresses the origins of the “CalArts style” in TV animation, and scratches the surface of Disney’s influence over the modern animation industry. We’ll discuss some of the pros and cons of having an “industry farm” school. For dessert, Ngan is celebrating AAPI representation across all forms of media!

Our tasty theme music was served up by Michael Freitag. https://soundcloud.com/michaelstephenfreitag Thank you Michael!
