Here's a question for you, the interested Animation student, Educator or Animation Professional. Do you think 2D animation should be taught as a beginning animation class or not at all?
This is a pretty important question which will decide if all the traditional animation techniques we have learned from Disney's Nine old men and other animation studios, will be handed down to the next generation or forgotten by them.

Nik Ranieri graduated from Sheridan College in Canada and started off his animation career working on a TV series called "The Raccoons".
From there, He finally got his first big break working on a new film at the time called Roger Rabbit. Eventually he got to animate Meeko, the raccoon from Pocahontas.
After Meeko, Nik was given his first villian, Hades from Hercules. Take a listen to this interview and learn about what else Nik worked on during his days at Disney.
