  • Great content, but horrible sound

    I love listening to this podcast, and hearing all the fun and interesting talks! Especially of the lesser known animated movies. I listen to this almost daily at work, at the moment!

    What unfortunately prevents me from rating it a 5-star, is the horrible sound quality. Especially in the older episodes.

    Sometimes it’ll physically hurt my ears listening! I recall really wanting to listen to the Rock-a-doodle episode, but had to stop it shortly after, cause the sound quality of the guy was so b... more

  • Mid and charm free

    They get 3 stars only because the subject matter is one of my favorite topics. This is a 2 star podcast with poor production and lackluster host. I’ve listened to their best villain songs episode and apart from their opinions being trash (not which is subjective) they managed to take a fun easy topic and turn it into a gibbering snooze fest. The coverage of the wild robot was impressively shallow and common. The search for a good animation podcast since the cancellation of Drawn continues. This ... more

  • One of my favorite podcasts!

    I’ve been listening to your podcast for years and I love it… I build Puppets for a living and your podcast and others are what I listen to besides audio commentaries from blue rays and DVDs ( many of them animated or puppetry involved)I’ve collected while I’m building custom

    Puppets for customers / Your observations and comments are never really negative just honest and you both have a grand sense of humor and very true to the art… thank you for doing what you do…

  • James Horner episode

    Great podcast and long time listener! I do have a correction to make on your James Horner episode. He never actually did the music for Hocus Pocus. He was slated to do it, but dropped out last minute and John Denny took it up.

357 Nick Spake Interview, Author of 'Bright & Shiny: A History of Animation at Award Shows' Volumes 1, 2 & 3
Q: Can you talk about the process of interviewing each one of those and maybe some interesting tidbits that you learned from some key figures?
I started off pretty simply just reaching out to the ones I could through Facebook, and to my surprise, a lot of them were on board. I thought I would get maybe three animation historians to interview and that would be enough, but I ended up interviewing over 200 people.
355 Aaron Blaise Interview, Director & Animator of 'Snow Bear' (2025)
Q: What advice would you have for animators who maybe want to do their own short?
Just do it; the film will never get made until you sit down and make time to do it.
355 Aaron Blaise Interview, Director & Animator of 'Snow Bear' (2025)
Q: What was the most difficult part in animating it?
The hardest part was overcoming external distractions and maintaining focus on completing the animation.
