The Animation Addicts Podcast with the Rotoscopers

Finding a good Disney podcast is very similar to finding a good book podcast. It's rare that you find a really good one and when you do, you become addicted to it. The Animation Addicts podcast with the Rotoscopers is my Disney podcast addiction...or animation addiction.
The Animation Addicts is a podcast hosted by the Rotoscopers - Chelsea Robson, Morgan Stradling, and Mason Smith. On the show they discuss all kinds of animated movies from Disney, to Don Bluth; from Pixar to Dream Works, and more! While the show is primarily a frame by frame look at a film of choice, they also include a segment called the Nerdy Couch Discussion and sometimes release episodes interviewing people from the animation industry including Don Bluth and Glen Keane.
Now I haven't been listening long and am still catching up on episodes but I have no problem saying that the Rotoscopers have the best Disney (okay, animation) podcast out there! Not only do these guys host a great show but they have excellent chemistry and great personality. It is impossible to not smile while listening. And more often than not you will laugh out loud at one of their jokes while you are listening at your quiet work station and everyone will look at you like a crazy person. Oh wait...is that just me?
Another aspect of the show that I love is the content. I'm a Disney purist but realize that animation can be great no matter who makes it. The Rotoscopers cover them all! I also love love love the Nerdy Couch Discussions! And Mason's impersonations are the greatest.
But most of all, this show has quality and heart...and I know that sounds cliche but it is the truth. You can tell that these people love animation and love the podcast, and I'm glad because I would be extremely sad if I could no longer listen to them. I highly recommend you download the show and subscribe on iTunes! The Rotoscopers don't disappoint. Be sure to check out the website as well. It is my go-to site for any animation news!
