The first podcast of the year is all about animated movies, including the one we're currently making! We go over the progress on Caminandes 3, the brand new Character Library on Blender Cloud, and finally the topic of the week: Top 3 Animated Movies.

Each one of us (Andy, Francesco, Hjalti, Sarah, and Pablo) had to pick its personal top 3 favorite animated movies of all time. But that was not enough, so we also made a few honorable mentions, and we asked the community to pick their own favorites:

hi there, my favorite animated movies are: Bugs, Toy Story and Rango also The Lion King

— Harold Tovar (@haroldgrafico) January 6, 2016

no favorite but with good animate details: Avatar, Rango, The incredibles :)

— Javier Salcedo (@salc2) January 6, 2016

Up, Sintel and Tron Legacy (well, Tron is like 50% animated).

— niklas ravnsborg (@niklasravnsborg) January 6, 2016

Rango!!! And Distric 9 for 50% CGI entries. Also BBB 🐰

— zuggamasta (@zuggamasta) January 6, 2016

( this is impossible to create The top 3 ! ) : Final Fantasy 7 ACC , Avatar , Inside Out.

— StevenLP (@Stevenlp5) January 6, 2016

Some of them didn't make it during the recording of the podcast, but it's interesting to see how popular Rango is!

1. Ratatouille, 2. Up, 3. Inside Out - what can I say, Pixar really knows how to tell stories!

— Thomas Berglund (@thomasberglund) January 6, 2016

Rango, the owl of ga hoole, incredible

— Hassan yola (@Hassan_yola) January 6, 2016
Snow White (the 1937 version), Toy Story, Avatar (Giant blue smurf version)

— David Mcsween (@3pointedit) January 7, 2016

The Wind Rises (2013), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009), Ratatouille (2007).

— Ethan Hansen (@hansenviz) January 7, 2016

Shrek, Monsters Inc and well.. too many others

— Inês Almeida (@brita_pt) January 7, 2016
Apart from the BI Open Movies (which are my faves of course!) Tin Tin, Les Triplettes de Belleville and The Boxtrolls :)

— Sybren A. Stüvel (@sastuvel) January 7, 2016

This was one fun podcast! Let us know if you have any questions for next week, or even a topic for future episodes!

Hi! This is Antonio Buch from Forgotten Fantasies again. I have a question that might be a little controversial.

Why is Sarah the only woman in the Caminandes team? Do you think that there's a gap for women to get into the 3D industry? Are there pretty the same women and men in the industry? If you perceive this unbalance, what are the causes and the solutions?

I hope I didn't oppened Pandora's box with this. Thanks and keep the good work!

I think that's a legitimate question. That's one that goes around the industry very often, and even spawned an organization called Women in Animation (http://www.womeninanimation.org/). Art students have discussed this question as well, seeing as there is a considerably higher percentage of female students versus professionals. I would be happy to hear the team's take on this scenario, too. It's a topic not often brought up on the personal level. Thanks for suggesting!

Thanks for your comment. I was afraid that this subject was quite off-topic for this podcast but I think that the spirit of the open source is also about equality.
