Merry X-mas! (To all animators out there: Merry X-sheet!)

Christmas-time = Animation time! 🎄 Did this animation for our newest book. Scenography by Jon Løvaas. Music by @wavecaster - Book written by @LierHorst

Wow! It’s both #internationalchocolateday and the start of @BritishBakeOff 🍫🧁 We could all do with a bit of yummy #cookerycomfort right now 😔 #earlyreader #buzzyreads @hjsandnes @majalunde #GBBO wackybeebooks.com/product/ninas-…

This is a must-read (written by @ASterling) Thanks for sharing @amid

Just read The Disney Revolt by Jake Friedman. Definitely one of the most interesting books on the golden age of animation. Not only do we get close to the main characters, Walt Disney and Art Babbitt, but Friedman gives a colorful picture of a world in change. @jakesfriedman

Hello from Nina’s #cat on #InternationalCatDay 🐱 👋 Illustration by @hjsandnes 👏 @majalunde #earlyreader #buzzyreads wackybeebooks.com/product/ninas-…

@KNGjosund Hehe - 6-åringen er en god detektiv! Kyllingen er en figur jeg laget som 10-åring, og den gjemmer seg stadig vekk i tegningene mine! Moro at den er oppdaget 🐣

@hjsandnes 6-åringen har oppdaget at det har sneket seg inn en liten kylling i alle Detektivbyrå nr 2-bøkene vi har lest så langt, og nå lurer vi på om det ligger en historie bak?

Happy Birthday, Ward Kimball, born on this day in 1914! A new biography, unlike any animation biography you've ever seen, will be out in 2023. It's called “If It Ain't Fun, To Hell With It! Ward Kimball's Adventures in Disney, Jazz, Trains, and the Avant-Garde”

@Mehsi_Hime So happy to hear that! 🙏🥰

Wow! So honored!!!

@DisneySakuga Did Pomeroy animate Penny in all these scenes?

Key Animation: Milt Kahl John Pomeroy Movie: The Rescuers (1977)

Honored and soo happy to be nominated for the 2020 children’s book prize by the Norwegian Ministry of Culture! @Kulturdep

Happy birthday to @tommmoore !

Happy birthday to a true master!

@NickJohnWeller I’ve animated different kind of animals over the years (and studied a trot some weeks ago, actually). Highly recommend The Animators Survival Kit by @RWAnimator in companion with the Eadweard Muybridge books on animal and human movements. Pure gold!

Galloping drawings #animation #handdrawn

@NickJohnWeller @tommmoore Thank you! Wonderful to hear that!

@JacksonLennox3 Ah, that’s wonderful! I even wondered if Joe Gardner might have gotten his name from Joe Grant and Joe Ranft?

In this shot of "Soul", many of the name tags in 22's cove have famous people on them. But if you look closely you can see two legendary late artists/writers Joe Grant and Joe Ranft, who especially worked close with director Pete Docter.

@kinderfilmblog Thanks a lot! Yes, I’ve seen excerpts of the movie – it looks really good. Would love to have it in Norwegian!

@hjsandnes Beautiful sketch! (If you haven't seen it, Hayo Freitag's (animated) movie adaptation is really quite beautiful, as well. And Ungerer narrates, at least in the German version!)

Read «DIE DREI RÄUBER» for my sons today. Wonderful #childrensbook by the multi-talented #TomiUngerer. Just had to make a quick #sketch!

#Wolfwalkers from @CartoonSaloon and #Soul from @Pixar were the BEST gifts this Christmas! Two animated masterpieces that push the boundaries of visual storytelling. Thank you for the inspiration @tommmoore & @DocterPete !

Am I the only one who wants an “animators setting” on Disney Plus so I can scrub through animation? Whadya say @disneyplus !?
