Into the Mind of a Teenage Animator

Into the Mind of a Teenage Animator is a 2013 live-action/animation hybrid film directed by Eric Goldberg and starring Max Burkholder and Alan Tudyk. The film was a co-production between Walt Disney Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and DreamWorks Animation (with permission from Fox, Nickelodeon, Universal, Sony Pictures Animation, Sesame Workshop and the Jim Henson Company to use some of their characters).

Considered a spiritual successor to the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Into the Mind of a Teenage Animator focuses on Billy, a teenage artist who is fascinated with animation and wishes to work for a big animation studio one day, much to the chagrin of his deadbeat dad, who would rather prefer that Billy take up a job as an accountant. To escape the troubles of the real world, Billy finds his way into one of his drawings, where he discovers ToonWorld, a wacky landscape populated by some of the world's most beloved animated characters. While on his adventure in ToonWorld, Billy discovers the truth about his dad and makes a decision that will change his life forever...

Into the Mind of a Teenage Animator was released on May 23, 2013, and received positive reviews from critics for the acting, music and mixing of live-action and animation. The film is dedicated to the memory of Muppet performer Jerry Nelson and actor Ken Sansom.
