Rubberonion Animation Viewing Party – #ROVP
Every Sunday evening for the last few weeks at 8pm EST, a group of animators has been meeting on Twitter to view and discuss an animated film which has been chosen the previous week. The group viewing is organised by @RubberOnion and anyone is welcome to join in. If you are on Twitter, follow the hashtag #ROVP to find out details of the next viewing!
At the last viewing we watched Disney’s The Lion King, and @Nora-LUMIERE posted this link to an image of the original draft for the story of the movie by Tom Disch. Eventually the writer was paid off, and he is not credited in the final film.
