Oscar nominated for best animated feature. Well done Cartoon Saloon! And thanks for the thanks.

Some words for a silent film.

This is one of my favourite credits. How often can you say that you wrote dialogue for a silent film? I can proudly say that I did next to nothing on this wonderful film. But oh to have done something! Nominated for an Academy Award. The director Sylvain Chomet is a genius. I'm just pleased to have had a finger in No wait, more like a fingernail. Still...
