A long time ago, when I was a fledgling animation major frustrated and angry with how all the big animation studios in my country had ditched drawn animation for CGI, I came across a crowdfund campaign for a series of steampunk-themed animated shorts, drawn by hand and directed by former Disney animator James Lopez. Desperate to help show that there was still a market for what I saw as a beautiful and expressive medium unfairly kneecapped by the very companies who depended on it to rise to the top, I threw some money at the project and hoped that Lopez and his team would someday see it to fruition.
A lot has gone by in, what, a decade? But now, coinciding with a new wave of indie animation online, the first of the Hullabaloo series has finally arrived.
I look forward to seeing the rest soon, as they are released.
