What goes into making the cartoons we grew up watching and continue to enjoy into adulthood? Guest Michael Rosenbaum (Socratica Kids) is super nerdy about animation and has been a good friend of Dumb Nerds host Cassi Jerkins for over 8 years. They bonded over performing improv and puppetry together. They now work together on the YouTube channel, Socratica Kids, that makes science videos for kids using puppets and animation. Michael has been drawing since he was a kid and now does animation. He goes into great detail about how he was drawn to cartoons as a kid and continued to be while other kids we're getting into the "Backstreet Boys", to learning software like Toon Boom to become an animator. He also knows a lot about Disney, their animation department and how many animation companies like Pixar have exploded over the years to make great films we adore like “Toy Story” and more. Enjoy!
