Last fall at Mexico’s Pixelatl festival, Cartoon Brew asked some of the event’s distinguished guests about their first jobs in the animation industry.

Kicking off the series today, we hear from Daniel Chong, the creator of Cartoon Network’s hit series We Bare Bears, about his first professional gig.

Prior to creating We Bare Bears, Chong worked as a storyboard artist at Pixar, winning an Annie Award for his work on the tv special Toy Story of Terror! Additional storyboard credits include Bolt, The Lorax, Despicable Me 2, and Inside Out.
