This week in AWN's Forums, members are discussing an end-of-summer animation party in Ireland, the pros and cons of outsourcing animation work overseas and a new service online allowing people to animate their own photographs. Want to be an old-school 2D animator? Discussion of the best schools for that style is underway this week. Do KUNG FU PANDA's characters jive with Chinese mythology? The discussion continues on a pending lawsuit.

As well as, tools for teaching animation, the business of animation and, as always, brand-new stuff to check out in show and tell!
