Saturday Morning Cartoons is an exciting program for aspiring animators to explore and develop their skills in 2D classical animation and other media.

The program includes both an individual component and opportunities for collaboration with other participants. Participants may choose to work independently on personal interest projects, developing their skills through exploration and experimentation with various accessible software under the guidance of our talented and caring staff. As a fun collaborative option, we always have several group projects on the go, where participants can contribute to fun tandem animation exercises!

Saturday Morning Cartoons is a fantastic introduction to animation, helping participants foster artistic, technical and social growth.

Advanced Saturday Matinee Cartoons is next level! Expanding on acquired animation and storytelling skills, with a focus on a project-based animation pipeline; participants are encouraged to create a short animated film as a group. We also dedicate time for participants to develop their skills and reach their personal goals within animation, including some fun challenges and exercises, in order to broaden understanding of the process from A to Z. 

Each week, we begin with a video presentation which showcases a specified animation principle or technique. An optional animation challenge will then be given for participants to work on for the rest of the session, taking an inspiration break midway through to watch a fun animated short film. At the end of day we usually share our work to celebrate our progress and engage in building a creative and robust animation community.
