Welcome to Animated Exeter
The UK's Longest Animation Festival.
Animated Exeter is an annual festival initiated in 1999 and developed by Exeter City Council. With an audience of around 12,000, Animated Exeter is now the premier animation festival in the South West. This year's highlights include Bill Plympton, showing his brand new feature, and previewing work in progress. Come to Bill's Screentalk and get one of his original handrawn postcards FREE!
This year's group of volunteers try out their new Ears
The 2010 volunteers met up last week to prepare for the festival and try out the Mickey Mouse look that will indentify them to the public. We have a great group of volunteers this year, but we're always interested in potential helpers, and you can register anytime through the year on the Volunteers Page
