Tonic House, a rapidly growing animation studio based in Berkeley, CA and under the leadership of Daisuke "Dice" Tsutsumi and Robert Kondo (both Pixar veterans), received its first academy award nomination this past February with their first short film, The Dam Keeper. Now, the studio has exciting plans to expand their creative output by taking advantage of the success of The Dam Keeper short film and building its world and characters into a feature length adaptation and two comic book-like sequels! If you have not seen the original short film, I highly suggest catching it either on iTunes or Amazon because it truly is a remarkable piece of art. Find out more about The Dam Keeper feature and comic books after the break!
Walt Disney Animation Studios is continuing their success with the Frozen franchise by releasing the first feature spin-off of the mega-blockbuster film, Frozen Fever. Frozen Fever is a short film playing before Disney's Cinderella and follows the story of a sickly Elsa putting together a birthday celebration for her one and only sister, Anna. The short film is also premiering right after the (surprising?) announcement that Walt Disney Animation studios is in early development with a sequel to Frozen, currently under the working title, Frozen 2. Find out more about Frozen Fever and Frozen 2 all after the break!
