Gitchi-Gitchi-Goo

When I first got into animation, my dream was to be able to reach as many people as possible with my entertaining talents, and hopefully be able to give them the escape that I sought when looking to cartoons. I saw this happen immediately as worked on different films, and TV shows in the industry and was very thankful to be able to contribute in small ways. Then one day it hit me, some of the people I'd hope to reach might someday be my very own children.
Now, although I might get some raised eyebrows, my first experience with this came while working on Family Guy. Yeah, yeah... my kids are a little young for that demographic, but, I felt that Bella was WAY too young to get the adult humor in the show, and she really seemed to enjoy the "silly" character. I also had some subtle excitement from this as she enjoyed the few "Dora The Explorer" cartoons i worked on, but the show I'm currently working on, "Phineas and Ferb" has hit a home run. Both of my girls love to watch the show, and are hopping off the couch when I put on a new episode. Although I joined the team after the first few shows had shipped, I've been involved in every show since then and believe this is the best show I've ever worked on. It's entertaining, intelligent, funny, heart warming, and family friendly. I hope you get to see a few episodes, and if you have little ones, make sure they see it, you'll enjoy it, too... TRUST ME.

Below is a video of Bella and Vivi singing one of the gaziilion songs written for the show- I hope you enjoy seeing how much this show has obviously effected them.

I love this because this is so classic Bella & Vivi.
