By the 1980s animated cartoons were seen as an art form in decline. An archaic vestige of the old Hollywood studio system. Yet by the 1990s animation was booming. Blockbuster movies and TV shows, interactive games and special effects extravaganzas all generating billions of dollars. What happened? Did everyone simply wake up one day and decide they liked cartoons again? This is a story of generations and societal change. Artists and moguls. Geniuses and hustlers. Join Tom Sito, a veteran Hollywood animator who was there, as he takes us deep inside the studio corridors to watch the birth of Roger and Jessica, Bart and Lisa, Woody and Buzz, Shrek, Simba, Mario, Lara Croft and Yu-Gi-Oh.
