This week we were honoured with a short conversation with Animator Bill Plympton.Bill has always been a unique talent, bringing a mature and complex animation style to all of his films.  In this era of CG films, his latest feature film entitled Cheatin' is a welcome breath of fresh air.  Cheatin' is a 2D animated film in Bill's unique illustrated style, the lack of dialogue is very suited to this artful masterpiece.Bill Plympton is not only known for his films but also for his collaborations with artists such as Weird Al and Kanye West.
