Animator's Breakfast The Tower with Jana Kattan - E016This was recorded in the Summer before the recent bloodshed in Gaza. When I first saw Jana Kattan’s graduate film, Checkpoint I was struck by the authenticity in which she weaved a simple story filled with heartbreak. There is a reality integral to Checkpoint I couldn’t articulate but it made me pay attention to her strong, honest and empathetic voice. As she describes, she only became aware she was Palestinian later in her life and the search for an identity that came with that has lent her an unparalleled empathy matched with an iron resolve to tell the stor...

Animator's Breakfast Space Patrol Luluco with Sean Cunningham (Paperbag Animator) - E015Space Patrol Luluco is a quintessential artistic declaration from Japanese animation Studio Trigger. Though lesser known, and not as critically acclaimed as other work by the team and Studio, it remains a fresh and fun mini series that never falls shy of its promise. Made on a small scale with a smaller budget, it's endlessly inspiring to younger studios who also want to put their mark on the world. Enter Sean Cunningham, aka Paperbag Animator and Creative Director of one of my favourite studios in Ireland, Studio Meala. The work he and his team produce is world class, allowing a...

Dreamwork's defiant call to the western world of animation that Disney isn't the only studio in town. Originally pitched as The Ten Commandments but animated, it took a dedicated team from the relatively new division in Dreamworks Animation to craft this masterpiece, and I'm not the only one who thinks it's a masterpiece, so does Kirsten Shiel. Kirsten is a mega talented artist who's work I have been drooling over for years...

Animator's Breakfast The Triplets of Belleville with Cliona Noonan - E013Welcome back to Animator's Breakfast. This month we're diving deep into the world of French animator, Sylvain Chomet and his foray into feature film making. A tour de force, while looking a the tour de France, it's impossible to narrow The Triplets of Belleville down to a succinct description, rather it's a story that needs to be witnessed. I was lucky that Cliona chose it as her inspiring touchstone. I've been a big fan of Cliona Noonan ever since I saw her short film, Wet and Soppy. It's a graphic tour de force of controlled storytelling. When I saw her co...

Animator's Breakfast Treasure Planet with Fatma Almheiri - E09Welcome to the penultimate episode of the first series of Animator's Breakfast! On this episode I'm truly honoured to be joined by the incredible and insanely talented Fatma Almheiri, the creator of Emara. I don't have enough positive adjectives to describe Fatma, so I'll just say it's humbling to consider that she has directed a 5 episode web series about an Emirati superhero named Emara. Her chosen topic is Treasure Planet, a beautiful and completely underrated Disney Animation. Released in 2002, a similar story to The Iron Giant, poor marketing led to the film's immediate demise. But Treasure Planet h...

Animator's Breakfast The Last Unicorn with The Joopis - E08Welcome to the next episode of Animator's Breakfast. On this episode I'm joined by the fantastic Jessie Smith, aka The Joopis. She's a really talented designer, animator and has a really wonderful Youtube channel where she uploads very original and interesting work. Today we're discussing The Last Unicorn, a 1983 film produced by Rankin/Bass. The power of their studio in the 70s and 80s can't be understated, and although they made classic stop motion works like Rudolph The Red-nosed Reindeer, their feature output combed through classic fantasy tales. The Last Unicorn is based on a book by P...

Animator's Breakfast Adrien Merigeau with Tomm Moore - E07Welcome back to Animator’s Breakfast everyone. This next episode is a real honour for me, I get to sit down with the ineffable Tom Moore, and his surprising, yet completely honest choice of topic: Adrien Merigeau. Adrien is an animator and film maker that worked win Cartoon Saloon for many years. Following his graduation film, Le Carnet de Chloe, he has created several other shorts including Old Fangs and the more recent Genius Loci, as well as several music videos you can find on his website here: https://adrienmerigeau.com/ Adrien’s work is so hon...

Animator's Breakfast Grave Of The Fireflies with Sean Mullen - E06Welcome back to Animator's Breakfast. In our 6th episode, we discuss the heartbreaking Grave of the Fireflies. An amazing animated film in many ways, it was directed by the legendary Isao Takahata, as his first feature for Studio Ghibli. It was featured as a double bill with My Neighbour Totoro in 1988. The feature still stands the test of time and its spotlight on Setsuko and Seita's journey is a tale that shouldn't be missed. I'm joined by the incredible Sean Mullen, one of the creative leads of Giant Animation. He recently co-directed The Overcoat, producing th...

Animator's Breakfast King Of The Hill with BaM Animation - E05Welcome 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 honest humour in King of the Hill. What was always interesting t...

Animator's Breakfast Garfield with BaM Animation - E04Welcome to the fourth episode of Animator's Breakfast, one I'm really delighted to share! This episode is a bit different in that it's a conversation with both the incredibly talented boys of BaM Animation, Brent Noll and Maximus Pauson. This is the first of two conversations we have, and this time Max chose to discuss a character, rather than just an animation. Character design is really important and what greater mascot to pick than Garfield the cat. He holds the Guinness World Record for most syndicated comic strip in the world, and even current iterations of animated w...

Animator's Breakfast Pojd'te Pane with Eimhin McNamara - E03Welcome back to Animator's Breakfast, my monthly podcast. In our third episode, I'm joined by Irish Industry veteran Eimhin Mc Namara, and his influential choice of Pojd'te Pane, budeme si hrát (Hey Mister! Let's Play). Its a Czech animated tv series by Bretislav Pojar, released 1965-1973. They are essentially a series of shorts of 2.5D animation, surrounding two bears that have wild imaginations and personalities. The shape shifting alone is spectacular, and one thing that comes out of Pojar's work here is how playful the animation is. Even without knowing what they're saying, you can fully fo...

Animator's Breakfast Jonny Quest with Dan Nosella - E02Welcome back to Animator's Breakfast, my monthly podcast. In our second episode I was gifted the chance to watch the original 1964 Jonny Quest tv series by Hanna-Barbera. I'm joined by Dan Nosella who picked the series out of his past and influenced his drive toward comics and ultimately moving across to the Animation Industry. 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 adventure, very akin to Tintin. Of course it has many issues that really date the show. Da...

Animator's Breakfast The Iron Giant with Aidan McAteer - E01Welcome 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. We talk about its storytelling mechanics and how important it is to understand giving relationships time and earning that emotion. We also discuss how it inspired Aidan's work throughout the years, from college all the way to now, where he just won Best Director for Dangermouse at Animation Dingle and Be...
