Why Portland is a World-Renowned Animation Hub

When the film “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature this year, it greatly validated Portland’s animation industry. Much of the work on the film was done not only at the Portland offices of animation studio ShadowMachine, but also in the backyards and homes of our local fabricators and animators. Now a new exhibit at the Portland Art Museum highlights the artistry behind the film. ShadowMachine co-founder Alex Bulkley is here to tell us more about this exhibit and why our city continues to be the perfect place to make animation.
