IMDbHow Cartoons Are Made gives you a tongue-in-cheek look at how animations are created, and it's not a pretty picture! Showing the process of creating a film from script to screen, we're introduced to an artistic, marker-sniffing baby who grows up to be a paint-huffing young artist, then an overworked animator. Producer Artie Romero appears as himself, bringing in a typewriter-pounding screenwriter, pitching successive storyboards to a pair of unimpressed businessmen. This animated short's voice actors include Chris Hardy and Ron Hayden.

2020 trailer

This outrageous animated short was conceived as a demonstration of our studio's whiteboard animation (AKA explainer) skills. Organizations who need to communicate complex concepts in an engaging way commission ARG! to produce these types of videos. ARG! founder Artie Romero created his director's cut (seen at top) and premiered it on YouTube on August 24, 2020.
