I have loved animation from a very early age. I was lucky to spend time at animation nights as a child, where we watched crazy old cartoons from Canada, Poland and Eastern Europea on a noisy old spool projector. I  also adored Road Runner with his Nemesis Wil E Coyote, Jungle Book, and the British kids classic Dangermouse. My list of favourite cartoons could go on for hours given enough nostalgia time. Then I lived in Bristol in the UK, which is the home of Aardman Animations and lots of hot young creative companies. You can't fail to be touched by the hand of claymation and animation if you live in Bristol long enough, and the Aardman Oscars turn up in the strangest of places. The last time I was at their riverside studios, I found one of the golden statues gracing the toilet cistern.
