We are beginning the storyboarding phase; this blog will chronicle our journey together with Buttercup. Get up to speed on where we’ve been and where we hope to go — Academy Awards here we come! Whether you are hoping to create your own animated film or are just a fan of cats, welcome. I’m glad you’re here!
