About Cartoon Saloon repost from AWS Thinkbox MODERNIZING A CLASSIC APPROACH Cartoon Saloon prides itself on keeping as much of its process in-house as possible, not to mention its ability to make major animated features outside of a typical film industry hub. The Secret of Kells was the first homegrown Irish animated film, and Cartoon Saloon has continued to emphasize that focus on showing exactly what's possible with 2D while many other studios opt for 3D animation. "We do whatever we can to grow everything here. Puffin Rock is a good example. That was created by people in this studio here, made in Ireland with Irish voices and everything, yet we still managed to sell it to Netflix—and it's been translated into almost 30 languages now," affirms Mark Mullery, Cartoon Saloon's technical director and compositing supervisor. "We're trying to do the best we can, make it homegrown, have our designs and writing here, and keep it 2D… trying to buck the 3D trend a bit." #Reel #animation #2d #classic #Irish #celtic
