We have a very special episode this week! Captain Kaye and the Animation Guru are joined by our friend Aaron Clausen to discuss the new stop-motion animated feature Wendell & Wild, as well as his experience working behind the scenes as a Jr. Assistant Camera Person.

Happy Halloween, everyone! This is your Captain speaking, here to bring you another exciting episode of Renegade Animation. This week, we’re joined by our friend Aaron Clausen, who worked as a Jr. Assistant Camera Person on the set of Henry Selick’s latest stop-motion animated feature Wendell & Wild.

Full transparency, we cannot call this a “review,” since we’re speaking to someone close to the production. However, we still promise to be honest about our thoughts, and Cam and I both agree that this is one of the best movies of the year! Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the podcast.

That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you guys as always for listening, and stay tuned for even more spooky goodness next time!
