Goings And Goings

Some people leave Cartoonland voluntarily (we assume) ...

Animation veterans Penney Finkelman Cox and Sandra Rabins are departing Original Force Animation, two years after helping the Chinese digital animation studio expand into Hollywood.

The duo announced their departure Friday, noting that they wish to return to producing after overseeing Original Force’s animated comedy “Duck Duck Goose.” ...

Penney and Sandra have been in the game for a long time. They were executives at Disney back during the Eisner-Katzenberg era, then execs and DreamWorks, and then at Sony Pictures Animation. They were instrumental in setting up Original Force's Culver City studio twenty-four months ago.

But then there are other resident of CL who don't. ...

Two-time Emmy winner Alf Clausen has been fired from “The Simpsons” after 27 years of providing music for Bart, Lisa, and company.

Clausen told Variety that he received a call from “Simpsons” producer Richard Sakai that the company was seeking “a different kind of music” and that he would no longer be scoring the longtime Fox hit.

You betchya. The show supervisors want to go in a new direction ...and that direction is "cheaper".
