The May Issue of Animation Magazine features our Rising Stars of Animation spotlight, in which we focus on a group of brilliant women and men who have big projects coming up in the near future. This month, we have two beautifully crafted and original animated features gracing our special covers, the much-anticipated movie The Mitchells vs. the Machines and Ryan Crego’s super-fun musical movie Arlo the Alligator Boy, both debut on Netflix in April. Also read about two of the biggest awards shows of the year, which are taking place this month! By now, you should have seen all the big Academy and Annie Award contenders in the animation and VFX categories. Of course all of our regular segments including Frame by Frame, VFX, Television/Streaming, Opportunities and Events are also included.
