Adam gave me the heads up on this phenomenal Vanity Fair article,
The Class That Roared - an exhaustive look at the beginnings of the California Institute of Arts and how it spawned a renaissance of animation from the likes of Brad Bird, Tim Burton, John Musker, Jerry Rees and John Lasseter to name just a few. It's remarkable to think that not only did all of these folks go to the same school but were in the same
classes together. It's a long read but well worth the discovery that pretty much every solid animated film from your childhood to today was from the same ragtag group of talented friends.
