Conversations With Calcaterra

“All the initial films were lessons in managing disappointment.” – Marlon West as stated on Conversations with Calcaterra “I’m just trying to spark conversation. I’m a guy who makes cartoons for a living not a hard core advocate or anything like that. I felt it was something to do to have a conversation for a solid year.” – Marlon West as stated on Conversations with Calcaterra Marlon West is celebrating over 25 years as an animator at Disney working on many popular films including Frozen, Moana, Bolt, Meet the Robinsons, and the Lion King.
