I recently made a model for the good people at @wondermation.bsky.social ! This one was really fun to put together and was made in conjunction with their prologue panel for @kookytrails.bsky.social at ATG Expo earlier this month!

Hey, that voice sounds REALLY familiar! Did not count on my puppet debut involving Peter Weller, but here we are. I can't wait for the next interview!

Wondermation Productions @wondermation.bsky.social · Jun 24

Last week, Maxwell Squirrel got to meet Peter Weller at the LA Breakfast Club. And since today is Peter’s birthday, we thought it’d be appropriate to share this fun little video of Maxwell meeting him.

Have a happy birthday Dr. Weller!

I did meet some of the English VAs for this short a while back and asked them about it, none of them have any recollection of it. Robbie Rist told me verbatim, "It must've just been another paycheck". And Cam Clarke said he was more curious about it now.
