  • 33: Pre-production - Monsters, Inc. Animation Series (with guest Jenny)
    Apr 8 2025

    We’re diving into the animation pipeline in this week’s episode, with industry expert Jenny guiding us through pre-production (or development).

    Don’t worry, there are plenty of side quests along the way into fun behind-the-scenes facts about some of your favorite Disney, Pixar, and Dreamworks animation films, including The Incredibles, Shrek, Ratatouille, The Emperor’s New Groove, and, of course, Monsters Inc. Jenny also sneaks in a trivia quiz to check how well Euan and Sarah paid attention when watching Monsters, Inc. (spoiler alert, they apparently did not pay attention at all).
