Interview w/Legendary Disney + Pixar Artist Scott Caple (The Incredibles, Hunchback, and More!)

On this edition of Up North and Personal, we're sitting down with Scott Caple. He's done a heck of a lot, from Nelvana shows and movies (Inspector Gadget, Rock and Rule), to stuff outta Don Bluth's wheelhouse (All Dogs go to Heaven, Rock-a-Doodle), and a fair bit of stuff during the Disney Renaissance (Hunchback, Tarzan, Mulan). If that wasn't enough, he's even done stuff for Pixar, including concept design for their tie-in games (Incredibles, Ratatouille, Up), had a Blue Sky (Ferdinand, Nimona) and somehow, he's lowered his standards enough to speak with me today. If you fancy yourself an artist of any kind, you're gonna love hearing Scott's stories!

A special thanks goes to Steve Schnier for getting us in touch. If he wasn’t already cool enough, am I right?

Its nice to learn about people who lived so close to where I grew up who have done such amazing things! Living in Canada can feel pretty small sometimes XD.

Ironic, isn't it? Glad you enjoyed - these interviews are really opening my eyes in more ways than I could've thought!
