Welcome to fine-tuning with Drew Taylor, your one-stop shop when it comes to animation news and commentary.

I'm Editor-Writer Jim Hill, and Mr. Taylor, whose writings on the industry you can regularly read over on the rap and whose musings on the mission of possible movies,

you can listen to on the Light the Fuse podcast, he and I are recording this week's show on Sunday, February 12, 2023, Super Bowl Sunday.

But you've been out doing other things out in LA recently, is that right Drew?

Yeah, well, I mean, the first thing is, you know, that I had a really great conversation with friend of the show, friend of this show,

But we talked to, I talked to Josh Gad for a very long time because the movie was so late,

starting on Monday at Atman Quantumania, and you will love that Josh did not let anything slip about the announcement which we will be getting into.

I'm sure about Frozen 3.

Yes, that is part of the new segment for this week's show.

So you got to the Atman Quantumania premiere, but didn't you also make it to the Louie Air Awards?

Yeah, have you ever been to this event, Jim?

I haven't, but I was so enjoying Guillermo showing off.

He really loves that award.

I can know this.

Yeah, I got to talk to him before the show started because I was bothering him earlier in the week about something else.

But yeah, what's interesting is it used to be a giant event.

There would be like 600 industry people.

And then after the pandemic, it kind of condensed into this intimate luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel,

which I'd actually never been to because they never do any junkets over there.

But it's an amazing hotel.

I mean, the chandelier in this room alone, I was just looking up and staring at it is so wonderful.
