Customer Reviews
Fantastic content, bad sound quality
This podcast is fantastic. A must for fans and students of animation, as well as artists in general. I would also highly recommend to Disney fans as there are so many behind the scenes stories from artists you wouldn’t hear elsewhere. My one and only complaint is the sound quality. I think they do everything entirely through a video chat, at least that’s what it sounds like. I keep hoping they’ll upgrade to a better system somehow, but it’s been years at this point. Not worth taking stars away from this invaluable podcast though!
Awesome podcast!
Thank you for these wonderful episodes! I’m an artist who loves animation, it’s so fun to hear the stories behind the scenes of my favorite movies! You all invite the best people too to interview, thank you for all the effort and time you’ve given to these episodes. For new listeners: you will love hearing these stories! The Bancroft brothers are always so funny, encouraging and inspiring! Thanks!
Love your show
I have learned so much from your show and it's encouraging. I wish I had followed my dream to the animation world but somehow I feel stuck. Hope to still grow as an artist. You guys are blessed. Btw if you walk by my cubicle it would be full of sketches because it's something I have to do.
