Alan Barillaro

Alan and I went to cartoon school years ago and we have been good friends ever since. On graduation, he went off south to Pixar, and I decided to avoid that cgi stuff and stay in Canada to work in the traditional hand drawn animation. Who was the smarter one.

Anyway, we have a good chat roughly every other month about the business and various things. Every time will always include how entertaining his little kids are. One instance, he told me about an argument he had with them (and lost) over the scientific naming of a Brontosaurus.
