About

Welcome to The Animator Letters Project’s official website! This project is an ongoing effort to gather handwritten letters from professional animators; each sharing their stories and words of wisdom, as a source of inspiration and encouragement for aspiring animators.

The Animator Letters Project has already inspired thousands of people around the world, on just about every continent, and continues to impact lives with every new letter written and shared on this site.

Thanks to all the animators who have so generously contributed to this project, and to each and every person who has helped spread the word! Because of you, this project has been made possible.

If you are interested in writing a letter for this project, please click on ‘Contribute’ on the top menu bar for more information.

The Animator Letters Project was started by Willie Downs, currently a student at Animation Mentor.

Please be sure to follow the project on Twitter @AnimLettersProj, and Facebook, as well as via email, for updates every time a new letter is added!
