Cartoons for the 21st Century

Hosted by Frances Anderton Jun. 17, 2003
What do the DNC's new Flash movie, Bushenstein, Virgin Airlines' safety instructions and this weekend's top box-office film have in common? They are all 21st century cartoons. Frances Anderton speaks with historian Jerry Beck about the renaissance in the art of animation. She also hears about the latest breakthroughs in digital design that have lead to innovations in animated storytelling from Andrew Stanton, director of Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo.
JERRY BECK is a historian of animation, the editor of CartoonResearch.com and author of the forthcoming Outlaw Animation: Cutting Edge Cartoons from the Spike and Mike Festivals.

ANDREW STANTON is director of the new Disney-Pixar movie, Finding Nemo, for which he was also the voice of Crush, the turtle. He was also co-director of A Bug's Life. Jerry Beck will be signing Outlaw Animation at Golden Apple Comics (Melrose location) on Tuesday, June 24. A new DVD of selected shorts from Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation is being released today.
