Animation magic has an interesting backstory though. The company consisted almost entirely of unemployed Russian animators that were willing to work for food, because the 90s were a BAD time for Russia. I know one of them was interviewed years later. He went from physics PhD with comfortable government funding, to living in a hobble trying to draw King Harkinnian.
