Our Zippy Frames Story

We started in 2011 with the aim to promote European and independent animation worldwide, a severely under-represented area in animation reporting and criticism. 6 years later and 3,000 articles in our Zippy Frames slate, we still feel there is the need to talk about animation; to review films; to cover in depth animation festivals; to host and hear the voice of people who do animation shorts ; to inform on professional opportunities and act as a liaison between providers and artists. We have certainly grown up a lot since our early start, but our mission remains the same.
