Marc Godfrey Takes the Magic of Disney Animation Tour at Disneyland

Marc Godfrey was one of our first students at Animation Apprentice and is now working as an animator at Blue Zoo, one of the UK's leading independent animation companies.

Marc recently went to Disneyland where he took the Magic of Disney Animation Tour. He had taken the tour before, but this time he visited as an animator in his own right, thriving and succeeding in the industry.  Here is what he wrote:

"Four years ago, on the Animation tour at Disney, I decided to train as an animator (left pic). It's kinda overwhelming and lump-in-throat-ish coming back, knowing that this time, I am an animator (right pic)."
