Welcome to the second part of our conversation with my friend Prasanth in India. We are talking how diversity in culture has been reflected in Animation with movies like Rio 2. We are also talking the music of Rio 2 and the direction animation has been taking recently.

We also talk about Klaus and how it achieved a 3D look with the 2D animation. And movies like Treasure Planet and the Spider-Verse which used a mix of 2D and 3D animation together.

Make sure to follow the podcast to be in the loop when the third part of our conversation comes out!

I'm going to start sharing scripture verses in the descriptions of these so here's the first one.

Genesis 1:1-4

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
