Toonin to the World of Animation “Memories From Steve Hickner”
Steve Hickner started his animation career at Filmation Studios in the late 1970’s. Both Filmation Studios and Hanna Barbara were literally talent incubators that gave birth to the artists that went on to create some of the highest grossing feature animated films in what we now refer to as the 2nd Golden Age of Animation. Steve Hickner lived this journey from Assistant Animator at Filmation Studios to Director at Dreamworks Animation. Recently joining The Creative Talent Network we thought it appropriate to repost this interview done late last year by Tee Bosustow of ToonIn where Steve speaks to the journey of dedication, determination, timing and luck that drove him forward from the late 1970’s through to the 2nd Golden Age of Animation and on up to today as Director at Dreamworks.
