BRIZZI FILM (AKA the Disney Paris studio) was a fun place, and I was lucky enough to work there. One of the more talented studios I’d ever worked in.

Please go watch this movie, it is my fave thing I’ve worked on in a while and very entertaining indeed!

The excellent ART OF MANGA exhibit at the de Young museum is definitely worth a look, especially if you enjoy comics and/or animation.
