Animation Anarchy

Animation & Manga, Leisure

Animation Anarchy takes apart the cartoons you love to see how they really work, then sometimes puts them back together all wrong, on purpose. Hosted by Jesse the Pencil (animator and educator Jesse Bray of Mr. Bray Labs): animation history, cartoon psychology, fan theories put on trial, Art College Crash Course lessons and wild "What If?" rewrites. Funny, smart and made for families and teens. Read the posts and play the games at anarchy.mrbray.com.
