This is amazing. I am old school, growing up watching Gumby and Pokey, and Davey and Goliath in the 1960s. Stop motion animation has always been my favorite, including Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Coraline. I had no idea Oregon was the base for the wealth of talented animators, starting with Closed Mondays by Will Vinton and Bob Gardiner. Then to discover they are they ones behind the California Raisins? I loved those commercials specifically because they were stop motion. Thank you so much for producing this video and making the public aware (like me in Idaho) of all of the extraordinary artists that continue this form of animation.
Thank you for this. It was exciting to put names and faces to the animators who filled my childhood with their visions!

Can't wait to see Battlefield: Portland
"like a bit of hollywood in the PNW" and then praises the long hours the animators have to work, which is a very SoCal thing to do tbh
