Creative Talent Network Animation Expo

Per Animation Scoop:

... The seventh annual CTN Animation eXpo (CTN-X) will commence Friday, November 20th through Sunday, November 22nd. ...

This Annie Award winning event takes place at the Burbank Marriott Convention Center - across the street from the Bob Hope Burbank Airport. Special guests this year include Peter Lord (who will be interviewed by Animation Scoop's Charles Solomon on Friday November 20th at noon); Don Hahn, who will preside over a Rescuer's Down Under staff reunion panel (at 2:30pm on Friday Nov. 20th); and Laika Studios, who will be feted with a major tribute on Saturday (21st) at 5:30pm. ...

One major event of the weekend is the "Rat's Nest" Reunion. In the late 70s, "The Rat's Nest" was a derogatory name given to a small group of young, rebellious animators who where relegated to a tiny room in the Disney Feature Animation building. ... All of the original Rat's Nest members will attend this panel: Brad Bird, Dan Haskett, Bill Kroyer, John Musker, Jerry Rees, and Henry Selick. ...

The Animation Guild, as it does every year, will be havea booth on the exposition floor, dispensing pamphlets, chachkies and useful information.
