This was one of the best experiences of my animation career, and I consider myself fortunate to have been given the opportunity to contribute to such an entertaining film. The crew was a remarkable mix of artists I had worked with before and respected highly, along with a number of talented newcomers to the studio -- the whole group producing wonderfully inspirational work. The novel stylistic approach taken by directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord provided challenges to be met in equally novel ways, all while fostering artist collaboration in a creative environment which valued the team’s input. I feel that this shared sense of investment and ownership resulted in a stronger film, and a very fulfilling experience for everyone involved.
