Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success.

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel.

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel.

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success.

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success.

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success.

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success.

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success.

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel.

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel.

This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success.

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success. The movie is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin. Returning will be director Jeff Fowler (Gopher Broke<\/em>) and scriptwriters Pat Casey and Josh Miller, both of whom worked on Golan the Insatiable<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success.

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel. After causing a online storm of controversy over Sonic\u2019s original CGI design, the film\u2019s creators were forced to redo the creepy-looking character design in order to get it closer to original video games. This extra effort pushed the film\u2019s release<\/a> from November 2019 to mid-February 2020 and propelled Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em> to worldwide success.

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out.

And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel.

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out.

The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need to kill some time as you wait to check out while observing proper social distancing? Head over to Instagram where a community of animators and animation lovers thrives. Technology has revolutionized how animation is created, produced, and viewed. YouTube is a prime example of this evolution, allowing many creators to find success as full-time animators and storytellers. But YouTube isn\u2019t the only platform where animation can be found and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A while back, we looked at ten fantastic animators on YouTube<\/a>, and today, we\u2019re going to explore ten animators on Instagram who are worth checking out. For this list, only accounts run by individual creators are included; studios or accounts reposting other people\u2019s works do not qualify. And before we start, I want to stress that this list is not a \u201ctop ten animators on Instagram\u201d article; in my research, I stumbled upon many wonderful animators who unfortunately did not make it into this list. The goal, though, is to spotlight talented animators who deserve more exposure and get readers interested in further exploring Instagram\u2019s animation community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note: Some of the Instagram accounts in this article create content, explore mature topics, or use language that may not be suitable for younger viewers, so viewer discretion is advised.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sonic the Hedgehog<\/em><\/strong> is speeding right to a sequel! After opening to number one at the US box office and racing to $306.8M worldwide, Paramount Pictures and SEGA SAMMY have green-lit the sequel\u2019s development to begin.

The live-action\/CG film has had a unique journey from concept to sequel.

The poetic and touching film from director Anca Damian follows an optimistic stray dog named Marona as she looks back on the human companions she has loved throughout her life. Delivered alongside dazzlingly colorful, sweeping designs produced in part by acclaimed artist Brecht Evens, MARONA\u2019S FANTASTIC TALE is a life-affirming tale told with the patient, boundless love of a dog, and reminds us that happiness is a small thing.<\/p>MaronaMovie.com<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Directed by Anca Damian and collaboratively produced by studios in France, Belgian, and Romania, the movie will be shown in virtual cinema, a form of viewership that GKIDS explains <\/a>\u201clets you watch the latest films from the comfort of home while supporting local theaters and organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile GKIDS and our exhibition partners\u2019 original intention was for audiences to enjoy Marona\u2019s Fantastic Tale as an in-theater experience, we are elated to bring this beautiful, touching film to home viewers through virtual cinema. During this time when many of us are socially isolated, we are hopeful that this film will serve as a reminder to cherish even the smallest moments with our friends and companions.\"<\/p>Chance Huskey, GKIDS' Director of Distribution<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
