The rundown of how the artists navigated the challenges of animating Hell Boy was fantastic!!

Really fun article as always. Thanks for sharing the The Spirit of Genius I wasn't aware of this documentary despite being very fond of Fyodor Khitruk's work sometimes information on Eastern European and Russian animation can be sparse if you don't know where to look and often its not translated into English. Thanks again.
