“I am currently a second year animation student at Max the Mutt, and I love it! I did three years of fine art before coming to this school and I found I learned more in my first semester at Max than I did in three years of “fine art”.
If you’re looking for a school that will give you a good solid understanding and training in the traditional skills of art Max the Mutt is a school to definitely look into.”

“I am the studio technical director and post production supervisor at Providential Pictures. Max the Mutt is starting to take over here as well now as we just hired 3 Max grads, Tess, Magda and Tabitha and as well, Jordan Denenberg works here still. I will have to come by for a visit as I have had some other great experiences since I graduated almost 2 years ago now.”

We were very impressed with the quality of work and professionalism of the two Max the Mutt graduates that we recently interviewed and look forward to working with them on our animated series ‘By The Rapids’. We are also excited about the possibility of bringing on a couple of student interns for the summer.

“I graduated in 2006. I’ve been working for Fatkat Animation Studio for 1 year and 4 months in Miramichi, NB.
I animated for 1 year on a flash television show called Super Normal that is currently broadcasting across the UK.
I was promoted to 1 of 4 animation supervisors and was responsible for 4-6 animators and all of the scenes I received from them. That project ended and since September I’ve been an animator on a classically animated cartoon called Three Delivery which is completely hand drawn. It will be on YTV in a year or so. www.threedelivery.com”

“Not only does Max the Mutt Animation stress hard work and dedication to it’s students, it also puts a great deal of emphasis on professionalism and courtesy. Max the Mutt teaches students to be the best artists and the best people that they can be.”

Francisco Garcia
“When I first came to Canada back in June, 2003, I took a portfolio development course at Max the Mutt Animation School. My experience in that course and through the whole year of the animation program was amazing. I can truly say that Max the Mutt’s greatest asset is a real commitment to the students. The friendly environment, the quality of the teachers and the well-taught courses make you feel like part of a family, where people care what you do, and give you the key to your potential.”

“The skills that I have gained from this school will constantly stay with me, and working with such talented mentors has been a great gift. The first hand experience that I have received from Max the Mutt Animation is of the utmost value, as it has gone far beyond what any other school could offer me. I have not only gained valuable experience in the field of animation, but lessons in life.”

Tom Bradnam
“In the last 8 months I have worked on 7 different shows all ranging from different style of animation and jumping from flash to classical. The list includes “George of the Jungle”, “Stargirls”, “Apollo’s Pad”, “Exiles” and “Stardust”
I can honestly say that none of this would have happened if it weren’t for Max The Mutt. Everything that I learned has proven not only useful but critical to survive in this industry. I had a great time and met life long friends in my time there. So to every one that taught and inspired me in my three years at Max The Mutt I say. Thank You. Not only for the skills and tools that you taught me but also the level of professionalism and passion for the arts that I believe has been a major part of my success this year.”

“Max the Mutt has the best faculty and curriculum of any school I’ve seen. Breaking into the games industry has been my biggest goal for as long as I can remember, and it’s due to the solid fine arts training that I secured my position at Electronic Arts.”
