First off, the access to instruction from Pixar is invaluable (though it will cost $250 for adults, $25 for kids). Second it's pen & paper based, you scan in the frames individually to render the final animation. Classic, craft based, just like Walt did it. Having a class that forces you to do animation, and then submit for peer critique will create an incredible showcase for emerging talent. But what makes it special to me, is that they are attempting a masterclass in Storytelling.
