Production News
 
Even though Disney has ended the production of traditional 2D animation and Shrek 2 has done well at the box office doesn't mean that everyone has given up on the artform. Two films from Europe show the medium is still popular. From Spain comes "Giacomo's Secret" http://217.125.117.26/giacomo/paginas/presentacion.htm by Animagic Studio and from France comes "La Prophetie des Grenouilles" http://www.laprophetiedesgrenouilles.com
