My apologies, but the next episode of the Animation Station will be delayed for a bit. We recently upgraded our recording equipment and are having trouble calibrating it correctly. We hope to have all the bugs figured out soon.

With the nominations announced, two animated films, Up and Avatar, have been nominated for best picture by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (or the Oscars). This is only the second time an animated feature has been nominated for Best Picture (The first was 1991’s Beauty and the Beast).
While some will argue whether or not Avatar is animation (including James Cameron), with the film being nearly 90% CGI, it fits my definition of animation (see episode 6 for the debate) as-well-as the Academy’s.
Either way, congratulations to both Up and Avatar.
After an extended hiatus the we are finally back. The Animation Station is bi-weekly (at least that’s the plan) podcast that discusses and reviews classic animation shorts from the 1920s though the 1970s, as-well-as other animation topics.
