  1. That was great!
    Is there any way to know who animated on this?

  3. Jonah, I'm not sure of all of the animators who were involved, but I know that Angus Maclane had a lot to do with it.

    Dave, the voice over is by Teddy Newton, frequent Pixar voice talent and director of the new short "Day and Night".

  4. "Ken has GOOD genes, but happens to look GREAT in jeans" HAHA. Michael Keaton was a perfect pick for Ken. I love the way Angus and Aaron handled Ken's limited articulation by limiting the movements in the animation.!

  5. haha, I love it!
    You guys definitely found the right balance of restrictive movement and flexibility... and the personality, lol, spot on. I spent many years playing with Barbie and Ken with my 3 sisters. Too funny. :)

  6. I think I made my Ken do that dance, LOL. I can almost see the invisible hands moving him around!

  8. The sunglasses falling off was priceless! I remember that happening when I was a kid years and years ago.
