If I told you 1 person had the most popular land in Epic Universe, directed the #1 movie on Netflix, AND created a character w/ the biggest Memorial Day opening of all-time – would you believe me?
You should, because that's EXACTLY what Chris Sanders just did!

Your reminder that Light & Magic on Disney+ is an incredible documentary series you need to watch. What could have just been a behind the scenes look at special effects is instead a heartfelt human story from filmmaker Joe Johnston that has no right to be this good—In season two.

This whole “you’re cooked, artists” thing is the equivalent of someone who tried a microwave for the first time saying it’s over for restaurants now.
You better quit now all you cooks & chefs and become a plumber because I can make a limp grey salisbury steak in 30 seconds!

Writing 4 panel comic strips for a project.
Thought I’d take a break & read some early CALVIN + HOBBES.
DONT.
It is SHOCKING how good Watterson was, right out of the gate.
His fourth strip in and it’s jam-packed.
Visual puns.
Established the dynamic between C+H.
A double funny final panel.

The chilling effect continues across VFX shops as Technicolor US seemingly is shutting down operations on Monday – this includes Mikros, MPC and The Mill offices across the country.

I just finished the storyboards for 30s spot for work.
Took ~8 hours across a couple days.
It was 66 panels total.
I've wanted to start a 4-panel slice of life comic for myself and struggling hard 😡
Doing the math, 66/4 = 16.
I could do SIXTEEN strips for myself in a day?!?
What's my problem?!?
