    The Pixar veteran reflects on the tough journey to and from his Mars-themed film, which bombed in theaters, and says ultimately, he’s proud of ‘John Carter.’

  2. It’s a small world…

    I’ve realized more than ever that the entertainment industry is so huge and so small at the same time. 

    There are so many interconnections and connections. 

    Don’t ever burn bridges, people. Just don’t do it.

  6. Phil Tippett's Mad God Project

    If you love Starship Troopers, Star Wars, Robocop or Jurassic Park, you have been affected by the work of the great Phil Tippett. It has been my fantastic honor to have worked with Phil and some of the amazing Tippett Studio crew on his personal project, MAD GOD, for the last few months. This is Phil’s return to his true stop-motion animation roots and has been something he has been working on for the last 20 years. Please help donate to the project! We are more than half-way to our goal of $40,000!!!!!!

    When he talks about giving “razorblades to 4 yr-olds” he really means me. :P

  10. Recruiting Tip: Stay Humble

    Regardless of everything you accomplish, ALWAYS stay humble. 

    I have an inbox of rejection emails I have received over the years and I’m going to keep those even if I win 20 Academy Awards, BAFTAs, and Annies (wishful thinking but who knows?!).
