—CG Channel

“It’s hard to fathom an audience that wouldn’t appreciate this app. From youngsters starting to cultivate a passion for drawing to retirees, this book/app is ideal for those seeking an enriching exploration of a new subject or endeavoring to enhance their craft.”

—TUAW.com

“an ABSOLUTE MUST-HAVE for any animators with an iPad. If you are an animator without an iPad, acquiring one solely for this app may even cross your mind. Its quality is unquestionable!”

—Animation Scoop

“We are enamored by it. It surpasses the book and DVD series. Seamlessly blending the best aspects of print and video... it represents a significant leap forward in animation education.”

—Animation Apprentice

“The ultimate tool for both novices with aspirations and seasoned professionals. The ability to advance and rewind through animations is truly remarkable. The slider beneath the animated clips allows focused study of specific movements or actions—advancing or rewinding as desired. The convenience of studying animated examples directly within the app is incredibly valuable. It has become apparent that this is the optimal method for viewing and learning from these animations.”

—Rob Coleman, two-time Oscar nominee, Animation Director on the Star Wars prequels

“Great news for animators of all kinds—professionals or students, digital or hand-drawn. The master himself elucidates character animation principles through interactive samples and exclusive content (featuring new Williams shorts). Access Williams’ wisdom anytime you wish. A must-have resource for studios and classrooms alike—smart, stylish, and thoroughly exceptional!”

—John Canemaker, NYU animation professor and Academy Award winner
