Summary

"Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse" has been celebrated as one of the most beloved animated films of all time by critics and audiences, eclipsing the reception of "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse" at the box office and has raised the bar for all other American-made animated films. Co-director Justin K. Thompson was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about the experience of working on the film, the world's response to it, his favorite scenes to work on, how the production of the hotly anticipated "Beyond The Spider-Verse" is going and more. Please be sure to check out the film, which is up for your consideration at this year's Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature. Thank you, and enjoy!
