Looney Tunes Reboot Has Begun
Warner Bros has released the first shorts for their reboot of Looney Tunes. I’ve had the joy of working on some of these shorts for the past year, and our first one is out, a 2 minute teaser titled “Dynamite Dance.”
This was produced at Tonic DNA with my intrepid team of phenomenal animators and producers. A lot of love went into this short, and a lot of childhood dreams were realized.
Here’s a photo of me and my lead animators on this short: left to right: Me, Chris Wieme, Guillaume Blackburn, Phil Lockerby, and Alain Seguin.
More Looney Tunes shorts coming soon. Stay tuned!
Green Eggs and Ham Coming to Netflix in November
For the past year I’ve been working as an animation supervisor on two episodes for the upcoming Netflix series Green Eggs and Ham. It’s animated by hand the old fashioned way, and the quality is as good as any Disney animated feature film since The Rescuers.
It’s to be released this coming November. The characters are voiced by Adam Devine, Michael Douglas, Diane Keaton, John Turturro and many others. Working with Montreal-based Tonic DNA, the project has been a lot of work, but a lot of fun.
The 13 episode series will find an audience not just with kids, but with parents as well. The story is fun, clever, and very well-written. This isn’t your standard TV animation fair.
