Appearing: Daniel Jeannette (animation director, Happy Feet and animation supervisor, Where The Wild Things Are), Roger Kupelian (matte painter, The Lord of the Rings trilogy), James Parris (animator, Spider-Man and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Kevin Hudson (The Dark Knight Rises, Harry Potter). Hosted by Jamie Kezlarian Bolio (Ernest & Celestine).
