We've been getting a tremendous amount of Top 5 lists for our competition. For those of you who don't know, about a month ago Pat Smith and I put out our Top 5 Greatest Animator list and asked our faithful audience to send in their top five faves. What's really interesting is the balance of the selections.
The big studio groups pretty much equal the independents – which I think is very cool – I'm not going to name the animators that are leading in votes because I don't want to tip the scale. But some of the names of “greatest animators” have been really fascinating.
So I'm calling out one last time for everyone to vote for your favorite all-time animator list before the end of the month. We'll make our announcement of the winners in early September, deadline is August 31st.
By the way, please don't put our names on the list – kissing our asses will get you nowhere!
Please send in your vote to Scribble Junkies now!
