This is a fun piece and a delight to listen to. It flows nicely due to good editing and a great mix, with a nice use of music, sound and interviews. It explores the fascinating world of animation on the Internet and its appeal to both kids and adults. It’s a refreshing example of how the web can be used as family entertainment, and gives a glimpse of the people who create this animation. I thought it was very engaging, and I would have liked it to explore the world of the artists further, and pointed us in a direction to learn more about this genre. Overall, this is a great piece of radio.
Piece about a different brand of web animators who reach a wide range of ages. There are sound clips from a number of the animation pieces, and they are even funny and cute to listen to. In short, the piece just points out a trend a lot of us may be missing.
This is a really well written piece right off the bat, puts you right into the home studio and gives great details about the animator. The sound and the kids really draw the listener in...you feel as if you're right in the room.
I think the interest and listenability of this piece would make it a hit across a wide range of audiences. But I have to agree with Townes, couldn't find the URL very well when I wanted to turn my kids onto it. The flip side of that is that i find URL's in stories kind of annoying. Dilemma!
An informative and well produced piece. I hadn't heard of these before, and I went out looking for some of these websites as a results.
The main criticism is that the piece did not contain enough information, especuially about how to find them, such as the websites' urls. (One was mentioned, but in a confusing way.)
Seems like the piece should have included that information.
