I love animation, all kinds of animation. When I first started reviewing films in 1987, there were many different animation anthologies floating around, shows like âAnimation Celebrationâ and the annual âAnimation Tournees.â There were collections distributed by Spike and Mike, Mike Judge and others. These programs showcased animated shorts in many different styles from around the globe, and the variety of media and personality was astonishing; I got my first look at artists like Judge and former Pixar head John Lasseter early in their careers via these collections.
âThe 21st Annual Animation Show of Showsâ was scheduled to screen last March and had to be canceled. This is the first time that the program is available virtually.
