Prime-Time/Late-Night Animation: What Envelope?

Jun 8, 2011
6:30 PM ET
New York

Taboo-busting TV cartoon series no longer ”push the envelope”—they’ve shredded it to pieces. Join some of the best “alternative” animators in the business for a discussion of their own work and the general state of animation on television. 

Presented in association with “Interview with an Animator”
