Wake up babe, a new Animation Obsessive post about an iconic cartoon just dropped
The Powerpuff Girls have three of the most memorable character designs in cartoon history. But how did they come to be?
Craig McCracken spent years refining Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup -- until they became iconic. We explore the process: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/designing-...

With CHRONOKEYS launching, I'm at peak animating scripts and plug-ins with After EFFECTS:
• Chronokeys
• Keystone
• Kease
• Flow
At this point, we need the animating experience (timeline + curve editor) addressed by the AE team.
What tools would you like to see added natively?

You could make a very American version of NO OTHER CHOICE set in the mid-2000s feature animation industry where someone goes around Burbank chopping off the drawing hand of the last few lead animators and it would end with the first shot of the all AI-generated animated feature.

Let’s talk NO OTHER CHOICE:
A last gasp of workaday capitalism.
Breaking Bad by way of Oldboy.
The Tragedy of Craft.
A messy gut punch riot for anyone affected by automation or AI, whether you were a journalist, designer, animator, or just hoping to be one.
Darkly delicious.

If I told you 1 person had the most popular land in Epic Universe, directed the #1 movie on Netflix, AND created a character w/ the biggest Memorial Day opening of all-time – would you believe me?
You should, because that's EXACTLY what Chris Sanders just did!

Your reminder that Light & Magic on Disney+ is an incredible documentary series you need to watch. What could have just been a behind the scenes look at special effects is instead a heartfelt human story from filmmaker Joe Johnston that has no right to be this good—In season two.

This whole “you’re cooked, artists” thing is the equivalent of someone who tried a microwave for the first time saying it’s over for restaurants now.
You better quit now all you cooks & chefs and become a plumber because I can make a limp grey salisbury steak in 30 seconds!
