Saw the latest run of The Animation Show , which is a semi-annual festival of international animation shown throughout the country, and directed by Mike Judge. The bulk of this year's material came from a French animation college, and most of the material was indeed from France. It was still pretty good though, including the latest from Bill Plympton. Definately check it out if it comes to your neighborhood this summer. Also, the first 3 years are now on DVD.
