We’ve been on a little hiatus from putting up more interviews, as some of you have complained, but we’ve nonetheless been quite busy on other site matters, interviewing more animation luminaries and responding to many of your thoughtful comments. Your praise and criticism has helped us improve things … thanks, we still have much we want to do.  But, it’s gratifying that so many of you have taken the time to make on-site comments, and off-site contacts.  Your thoughts are valued, and we especially enjoyed all the additional educators and students who responded to the “New Animation Course” blog.

We’ve recently begun to attract potential sponsors, and if we can bring a few of them on board, we won’t need to rely as much on outside jobs to pay for the site, and can spend more time on it, all part of the mix of tasks we’re performing to improve the site. One thing that’s driving our traffic up is the fact that we’re getting more and more glowing reviews. The latest one was posted yesterday by ASIFA-San Francisco’s blog site, Cable CarToon.  If you decide not to click the link (do it, it’s great), at least you can see their clever logo, up there on the right, designed by Joe Sikoryak, Episode #38.

But, you come here to hear our roster of interviews, at least that’s what we’re hearing from you, so we’ve been sifting through something like fifty or so completed interviews, and I think we’ve come up with a nice variety for our next batch; Pete Docter, Michael Giaimo, Mel Leven, Bill Melendez, Rúben Procopio, Andrew Stanton, Nick Sung, Emru Townsend, Mark Walsh, and Steve Worth, a good cross-section of experts, which we hope to have up in a week or so.  We also hope to interview another dozen or so new people in the next few weeks to add to our backed up backlog.  If we have our way, we should have about 75 up altogether by the end of July.  So, stay Tooned, and if you’ve yet to chime in, let us know what, or who, you want to see in Toon In! … to the World of Animation.
