We’re off to an early start with our ‘Dinosaur’ movie site because there’s a lot of interest building for this film. We’ll be updating the ‘Dinosaur’ site on a weekly basis.”

The Animation Artist Fantasia 2000 Movie Site is located at www.animationartist.com/fantasia2000. The Animation Artist Dinosaur Movie Site is at www.dinosaurmovie.com. Each site is complete with galleries, news, FAQs, movie trailers, film facts, artist information, and production notes.
