The Animation CEO Forum believe that RTÉ are not fulfilling their role as a Public Service Broadcaster by failing to support, develop and fund the Animation sector in Ireland. In the context of the two Academy Award® nominations received this week by Irish animation studios, the Animation CEO Forum RTÉ have spent just €300,000 a year for the past 3 years on animated programmes. This represents less than 1% of the RTÉ spend on independent commissioned programmes. more »

Of course, Granny herself had a different take on things. Watch Granny’s reaction to the Oscar® nomination here:
Today Brown Bag films held its first charity cake sale in aid of the Haiti appeal. Colm and Niamh have been working all through the night (with the help of some friends and family) preparing a huge array of cookies, cakes and delicious buns. Eat your heart out Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson, Colm and Niamh are here to take your crown as the new King and Queen of the Tarts!
Last night saw the premiere of Disney’s Princess and the Frog in the Savoy cinema. In attendance were the film’s directors Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid) and John Musker (Aladdin). Also there on the night was supervising animator Andreas Deja, producer Peter del Vecho, and Anika Noni Rose who provides the voice of Princess Tiana in the film.
Former Spline Doctor Angus Maclane made this funny chart of fame.
It’s a regular joke here how animators are among the least recognized people in the entertainment industry. Oh well, we really didn’t get into animation because we wanted to be famous…

Richie Baneham, Avatar’s animation supervisor, was interviewed on Today FM’s Ray D’Arcy show yesterday about his role in the production of the movie that’s fast becoming the biggest box office success of all time.
Richie was trained at Ballyfermot School of Animation in Dublin. Following a move to LA he went on to work on movies such as The Iron Giant and Scooby Doo.
