Episode 260 - Tod Polson - The 21 In this episode, Tom and Tony interview a true “artist’s artist”, Tod Polson, master animation designer and director. We discuss Tod’s amazing book about Maurice Noble and what he learned from Chuck Jones's main layout artist at Warner Brothers Studios. We then dive into discussing his newest short film, “The 21” a powerful and stylized film that tells the true story of martyred men of faith in the 90s. This is an amazing, Oscar-worthy short!

  • Can I submit my film to be featured on AnimToon?
    Yes! We would love to see your film. Fill out the form at the bottom of this page, or email your film to marynia@pencilish.com for review.
  • What do I need to submit my film to AnimToon?
    You will need a high resolution (1080p) version of your film, permission from the crew, a transcription for any dialogue (necessary for creating subtitles). We will also need a 16:9 thumbnail image and a description of the film.
  • Does my film have to be finished to be part of AnimToon?
    Yes, AnimToon is for completed student-made films. While works-in-progress can be fun to watch, we will not feature unfinished films through AnimToon.
  • How much money will I make through the AnimToon program?
    It depends on the views your video brings in! We will do everything to promote your video to our Pencilish audience, and you will reap the benefits. You will receive 70% of the monetization from your video. Pencilish receives 20%, and our multi-channel network will receive the remaining 10%.
  • Do I have to own the music I used to AnimToon?
    Yes, you need to have all the rights and permissions necessary to use all the music and sound effects in your film.
  • Can I use copyrighted music if I have permission from the artist?
    Under the conditions that we have written permission from the rightful copyright owner, yes. Otherwise, we will be unable to monetize the video due to YouTube’s copyright & fair use policies.
  • Do I need to have permission from everyone who worked on the film?
    Yes, please make sure that everyone is on board with the film being uploaded to AnimToon. It is your responsibility to touch base with your team before signing an agreement.
  • Do I have to delete my video from my own Youtube Channel? I don’t want to lose my views and comments.
    No, you don’t have to delete your video from your channel, but you must turn off monetization. You can keep all the engagement by keeping your original video up, but unfortunately can’t monetize there as well.
  • Is it okay to submit a pitch of my idea to AnimToon?
    NO! Do not submit pitches to AnimToon. Any pitch material submitted will not be reviewed. Any and all pitch material will be discarded. AnimToon is for FINISHED student films, not pitches.

Submit your film!

Thanks for submitting!
