My Take
Rob Letterman is a filmmaker I keep an eye on because he works in the deceptively hard arena of large-scale animated comedy. His USC training and his debut on Shark Tale, which earned an Annie nomination, signal someone who understands both craft and crowd-pleasing rhythm, and Monsters vs. Aliens confirmed his appetite for scale. I have a theory that his Honolulu upbringing feeds into the breezy, brisk energy of his visuals. Directing animation requires balancing spectacle with timing, and the fact that he handles both is exactly why I think he is worth watching closely.
