Animation Outsourced To Georgia
 AZTEC THEATRE   PENCIL PUSHING   WHAA?? 

Due to Film Roman's inability to meet their demands for "faster, better, cheaper" animation, Simpsons producers have switched animation studios for the first time since 1992. Starting next season, The Simpsons will be primarily animated by a small animation studio in post-Soviet Georgia. Here's a preview clip. [Dead Homer Society]

According to an artist at Film Roman, about 30 Simpsons artists were fired, with more lay-offs on the way, because the voice actors still haven't signed their contracts for the next season (see earlier post). At least the economy's not in a recession or anything.

Disney animators are inflexible jerks who can't adapt to different drawing styles. Get out of the way of the progress train, you dinosaurs! CGI is here to stay!

posted 1 June 2007 source TAG blog


The Simpsons Movie staffers are pretty much in their final days on the Yellow Family picture. I got lots of questions from artists about other work around town ("When is 'Princess and the Frog' going to start hiring? Anymore hand-drawn projects out there?")


Hello? 2-D animator looking for work? I went to CalArts... Is anyone out there? Hello...?
