Everyone, everywhere watches with baited breath when the employment figures are announced by their respective government not that it really matters. Nationally it may be 10 percent unemployment.

Q&A with Animation Supervisor Brad Schiff

While it seems like it's all fun and games, what we do is incredibly difficult and taxing...mentally and physically. It takes great skill, concentration and confidence to animate at this level.
