I've been nominated for an Annie Award!


Well I be darned, I'm up for an Annie Award for Character Animation in a Feature Production! This is a pretty big deal considering all the other great work that was done on WALL-E by my coworkers, and considering the amazing animators I'm up against from Dreamworks and BlueSky. Here's the full list of nominees:

Character Animation in a Feature Production

  • James Baxter “Kung Fu Panda” – DreamWorks Animation
  • Jeff Gabor “Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears A Who” – Blue Sky Studios
  • Philippe Le Brun “Kung Fu Panda” – DreamWorks Animation
  • Victor Navone “Wall•E” – Pixar Animation Studios
  • Dan Wagner “Kung Fu Panda” – DreamWorks Animation
You can see all the other categories and nominees here. Win or lose, it's a real honor to be nominated blah blah blah I hope I win! We'll have to wait until January 30th to find out. Until then, sing along: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, tomorrow..."
