When I think of the words play and animation, two words come to mind: Robot Chicken.
A show from the insanely talented folks at Stoopid Buddy Studios. Animator and Studio Founder, Eric Towner, shares his story of moving to LA, finding a stop motion animation job on Craigslist which ultimately led him to working on the second season of Robot Chicken, and from there, becoming one of the lead creatives at the studio.
Sitting down with Eric was an incredible treat for me, I’ve always wanted to know more about their studio and the playful approach they have to creation. Then Eric shared with me his chosen point of inspiration: his mother. A creative soul who encouraged her children to engage with the world in a thoughtful and curious way, which has shown through Eric’s own work.
These are a few of the things we talked about:
- The limitations of filming stop motion back in the day
- behind the scenes on early seasons Robot Chicken
- The importance of early mentors in shaping your creative path
& so much more!
I’m really excited to hear your thoughts after listening to us ramble on!
OUT NOW!!

Great interview. Personally, I had a similar experience. Though I ultimately taught myself to cook, my mom would let me help her bake and I would watch her cook. My dad was an entrepreneur, engineer and an artist, so he designed and built his house, his brother's house and several commercial buildings. I was always on the construction sites and learned about basics plumbing along the way. So, I picked things up along the way by doing things or helping to do things with them. Now, with my 7 year old daughter, I like to give her a chance to make things with me and by herself. Opening her up to the endless possibilities by exposing her to designing, modeling and 3d printing her own toy robot, cooking, lots of baking and painting, singing, stop motion animation, playing piano and guitar. Even got her feedback (reaction to my 2 children's books while I was writing and creating the illustrations, she got final say on the color of some of the animals). It may seem like a lot, but it l believe that it opens their minds to the endless possibilities.

I listened to this and I loved it. Been impressed with the animation in Robot Chicken for years and great to see that one of the guys behind it is so supportive, creative, funny and humble. Your animation is magic. It's work like yours that make me want to get back into animation.

Amazing, and I fully agree. They really are creating the most playful animation today, truly in the very spirit of play. Having fun with the models and stories and just trying so many things!

Great pod but introduce your guests instead of telling them to do it, least you could do

Hey, thank you so much for that Feedback! I think it’s a great question, for me I really like if they open explaining a bit about themselves rather than them listening to me talk about their history
