Henry Selick, David Silverman Interviews Coming to Suite 101

Who da Man? Me da Man!

(Or is that Rie da Mann? Okay, that was pushing it.)

Why am I so giddy? Well, today I'll be interviewing two major players in the animated world. First up is director Henry Selick, the stop-motion maestro behind such classic films as The Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, and this year's Coraline. I'll try to restrain my fanboy excitement on this one, but it won't be easy.

After that, I'll be interviewing David Silverman. Who's that, you ask? Well, David Silverman is one of the senior animators behind one of the most important animated television shows of all time, a show that has touched the hearts of millions and a cultural touchtone that has influenced countless imitators . . . Mr. T!

Oh yeah, and he's worked on some show and movie based around . . . The Stimpsons? ;)

OIAF is still ongoing so I'm not sure when these interviews will go live (You must learn patience, Ed Gruberman. Yeah, yeah, how long's that going to take?) but rest assured, I'll be moving as quickly as possible to get these exclusives to you, the Suite 101 reader. So stay tuned to this space for this, and other exclusives.

P.S. - No tubas were hurt, injured or burned during the production of this blog.
