            • We also wanted to provide a little additional information regarding The Animation Collaborative for our readers - we can't recommend checking out their website enough. The Animation Collaborative's goal is to provide a focused, professional environment that fosters creative growth, community and collaboration. With instructors who are passionate about teaching with experience in both school and studio settings. These talented instructors currently work some of the most successful studios for animation and are here to give students individual attention in smaller workshops rather than larger classrooms - a perk that sets The Animation Collaborative apart from other schools.
