The first podcast of the year is all about animated movies, including the one we're currently making! We go over the progress on Caminandes 3, the brand new Character Library on Blender Cloud, and finally the topic of the week: Top 3 Animated Movies.

Each one of us (Andy, Francesco, Hjalti, Sarah, and Pablo) had to pick its personal top 3 favorite animated movies of all time. But that was not enough, so we also made a few honorable mentions, and we asked the community to pick their own favorites:

hi there, my favorite animated movies are: Bugs, Toy Story and Rango also The Lion King

Some of them didn't make it during the recording of the podcast, but it's interesting to see how popular Rango is!

1. Ratatouille, 2. Up, 3. Inside Out - what can I say, Pixar really knows how to tell stories!
