Thanks so much for this wonderful film, Dave. We are proud to have you as part of the Frederator Family.

For those of you who are curious who Dave Wasson is, and where on Earth he came from, some of his credits include: Oh Yeah! Cartoons, “Max and His Special Problem”, also featured on Episode 13 of Channel Frederator. “Max” also won an Emmy. He created and directed the series, “Time Squad”, has won a Clio for his commercial work, and animated the opening title sequence to the film, “Down With Love”.

Dave, you’re an amazing talent. Keep it up!
