Kalen's approching his 4th year here in the industry and is eager to share his experiences with us. We talked in depth about how to balance working in the industry while also maintaining your creative voice, being an animator in the indie scene, having artwork on the more mature side, and making it in the industry wile your art is heavily anime influenced.

******* One of the artistic influences mentioned by our guest will not be listed , because the hosts of Black N Animated do not agree with the things this artist has done. We recognize that someone can be influenced by an artist work and not the artist themselves, but we do not wish to offend by giving this person any more of a platform by sharing their work along with the other two artists. ********

Hey howdy hey folks. Episode 10 is here!
A little late but we're dropping a new BW or BW whatever you like episode for you. This week we discuss the wonderful Disney princess , Tiana ! Princess and the frog was a movie that was and still is so near and dear to our hearts. However, you can enjoy something immensely but still openly critique it.
Kick back and listen to us discuss the issues of animal transformation of minorities in media to sell a point in a story, the double standard of women of color working twice as hard for their happily ever after, and some fun tangents about the Disney Prince's .

Hello world!
We're excited to present to you the fourth episode of the Black N Animated podcast! In this BW episode (WB? BW? still figuring that out) Bre and Way discuss the Censored Eleven. These are animated shorts origanilly produced and released by Waner Bros.and withheld from syndication by United Artist in 1968, for it's racially insensitive content. We watch five of the shorts and discuss what makes them offensive, Is there any salvaging them to make them better? and why acknowledging these shorts is important.
