    If Disney's chief creative officer John Lasseter is keeping an eye out for talented animators -- I have a tip for you.

    Anna Dittman is a 13-year-old friend of my kids and an unbelievable artist. She created this beautiful hand-drawn animation of herself twirling in a long dress and posted it to YouTube.

    Anna drew each and every frame by hand with pencil and paper: 114 seperate drawings. "I got cheap paper because it's a lot of paper," she said.

    I'm amazed at the draughtsmanship and how beautifully fluid it is. And she's just an 8th grader!

    Anna drew each and every frame by hand with pencil and paper: 114 seperate drawings. "I got cheap paper because it's a lot of paper," she said.

    Of course, she got a little bit of help. First Anna made a movie of herself twirling and played it back on the computer. She traced several key frames on the monitor. The remaining she drew freehand. (Nothing the old masters didn't do: Hockney's camera obscura)

    Her elder sister Caroline scanned the drawings into the computer and imported them into Windows Movie Maker. All in all, a couple of evenings' work.

    "I'm surprised," she said. "I didn't think it would turn out so well."

    And didn't it? Under California labor law, its only 8 years till Disney can hire her.
