When I was a young kid I used to listen to these Star Wars “read-along” books.  They were picture books bundled with a 45 LP.   The narrators were melodramatic and they tried thier hardest to sound like the characters from the movie.  As a kid, I totally bought it.  As an adult, it’s laughable.  I remember finding the LP in one of my art books not too long ago and wondered how it would hold up against time.  I did a search the other day on YouTube, not expecting much.  To my suprise, not only is the audio up there, but a montage of the book as well.  I haven’t heard these in probably 26 + years.

A lot of you have asked what I’ve been working on since I’ve finished up work on Ice Age 3.  Fox has finally announced our next film, “Rio”, earlier today.  Hopefully this article can help answer some of your questions.

I’ve always been a fan of Foreigner.  In fact I used to play drums to their album “Records” back in the day.  When I found out that they were touring again, I bought tickets to their next closest show which was in Stamford, CT.  It was a smaller venue that kinda reminded me of the Muppet Theater.  The show rocked!!

Our little show gets more exposure to the outside world!!

Our Easter special “That New Guy”.  Enjoy!!

After a lengthy crunch, our work is finally done.  Here is the frame counter I sent out periodically  to the department to show the team’s overall progress on the film.  The counter follows Animation Production Supervisor, Anthony Nisi, as he is overcoming obstacles (acorns) while trying to reach the antagonist Scrat.  If you don’t get the reference, you’ve probably been asleep for the past 30 years.  Click on the image to see it in action.

If you feel as though the ending seems very familiar but you just can’t place it, here’s a clue to help you sleep at night.  Congrats again to all the animators on the film!!

A milestone episode for us.  This one completes Season One of the show.
