Hey, everyone!
We have SO MANY exciting updates for you!
First, one-third of all of our animation sequences are 100% completed!! Thank you to Christa Carr, Jessica Honore, and Ariel Paxton for getting us to this milestone.
Second, happy birthday to Enongo senior character designer and animation mentor, Dan Haskett! Dan is a veteran animator, director, and character designer who has worked on so many beloved films and cartoons over his 50+ year career, including The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, The Simpsons, Toy Story, Sesame Street, Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, and much more. We are thankful and honored to have the guidance and support of this living legend of animation history on our film.
