Animation is one of my favorite genres, and I like discovering new studios that give viewers alternatives to the big four: Disney, Pixar, Dreamworks, and Illumination. The week leading up to Christmas, I decided to watch DAVID, created by Sunrise Animation, a production company with a full-service animation studio in South Africa. Apparently, it’s …
