IN THIS EPISODE ::

Christophe Vacher’s Art Direction on Shane Acker’s ‘9’ (produced by Tim Burton) was a driving force in what was destined to be a visual breakthrough for mainstream american animation.

In this very personal interview, Christophe tells the story of his art life.  He gives some thought-provoking insights into his work for Walt Disney Feature Animation (including The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules and Dinosaur) and his time at the Brizzi Studio in France.

He shares some advice about how to become a great artist, a great art director and how to navigate within the american animation industry.

Both of us talk extensively about the making of ‘9,’ providing insight that will, for many people, enhance the experience of watching and working on every kind of animated film.
