Episode 24: Ron Diamond & Dan Sarto, The Animation Room, Uncle Billy Frenzer

Posted in ffafpodcasts with tags , , , , on 07/28/2011 by ffafcast

Few FFAF episodes have challenged the potent potential of what a jam-packed powder-keg of animation multilarities can illicit in the burgeoning minds of those seeking more lore and eternal wisdom of this frame-by-frame La Bamba than number 24.  This show is huge.  Ron Diamond + Dan Sarto = how to invent and maintain an international animation archive and animation short distribution empire while enjoying the best of Scotch and olive canning.  The Animation Room + The Animation Room = how to create an animation studio boyband right out of college.  And finally, Billy + Bill + William Frenzer = how to develop treasured American comedy songs into animated music videos that change the course of human history.  Perfection, sometimes, does not take time.
