Welcome to the Fifth episode of Animator's Breakfast. This episode is a continuation with both the incredibly talented boys of BaM Animation: Brent Noll and Maximus Pauson. The second of our two episodes we talk about a quiet Tour de Force in Animation, which is King of The Hill. Created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, it ran for 8 seasons, with some incredibly smart writing. Up against shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy, at the height of their popularity, it was impossible to deny the...

The original Jonny Quest is an incredible programme, a globe trotting adventure to show everyone the wonders of the world outside, filled with science and...

Welcome to Animator's Breakfast. In our first episode, I'm joined with Aidan McAteer to discuss The Iron Giant. Directed by Brad Bird, this 1999 epic traditionally animated feature film has stood the test of time to become one of the greatest animated features of all time.
