Aardman is also known to provide generous resources and training to young animators by providing awards at various animation festivals.

Nick's plan was to hire bright, young animators and let them do almost anything they want.

Bakshi recognized Kricfalusi's talent, and wanted to put him in charge of a project that would showcase the young animator's skills.

Having worked for such a long time on one picture that was of questionable merit, the young animators went elsewhere.

But because of his teaching, he had brought the younger animators to a new level.

In 1957, the young animator started trying to convince people that the story could be told in animation.

In the 1940's, shorts were used primarily as training for young animators.

A pair of young animators discovered the film in 1947 and preserved what they could.

At the time, the strike broke down along age lines, with the younger animators taking a more strident line.

As a result, many young animators were thrust into the position of director before they would have been promoted to it.
