Still looking for ideas on who to present for your animation presentation?

I have provided a list of animators, if you're still stumped on who to present for your class presentation. This is by no means a comprehensive list or a list of the best-animators-in-the-world-in-descending-order or anything like that but a simply a starting point. No doubt, there are hundreds of other equally talented animators we could add to the list but these folks might be easier to find at the video store or in Randall Library than most.
