“We’re back!” That’s Bruce Smith, creator of The Proud Family and animator on The Princess and the Frog, talking about the return of hand-drawn, 2D animation to The Walt Disney Animation Studios. In this AWN exclusive featurette below, we also hear from directors Ron Clements and John Musker (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin), animators Andreas Deja (Gaston – Beauty and the Beast) and Mike Surrey (Timon – Lion King), and the Chief Creative Oficer at Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios John Lasseter. AWN’s Dr. Toon was right all along.

Nice promo piece . I wish it were longer. Where are the rest of the lead animators ? Eric Goldberg ? Mark Henn ? Nik Ranieri ? Dale Baer ? Ruben Aquino ? Would have been nice to see those guys too.
