Talk to the Snail

This Animation Magazine calendar I’ve got hanging on my wall says the Nickelodeon Animation Studio here in Burbank opened ten years ago today, March 4, 1998. I don’t know if that was the official opening or what, because folks were moving into the building weeks before that. In any event, Tracey, who not only runs the studio’s operations but is one of the very few folks who has been at NAS throughout the whole decade, was kind enough to lend me some pictures of the facility being built, incorporating an existing building, during the previous May. Here are a handful of 1997 shots, mixed in with a few taken just moments ago.
