KIDS' PICKS! TGE interviews award-winning director of The Smeds & the Smoos, Daniel Snaddon

--:--
In this BONUS episode of The Great Equalizer / TGE's Current Read, your host Samantha Herbst sits down with award-winning animator Daniel Snaddon. Daniel has worked on several highly acclaimed (and well loved) animations, including Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes, and a host of animations based on the beloved books of children's book author Julia Donaldson.

Daniel already has two BAFTAs under his belt, as well as two International Emmy Kids Awards, the most recent being an iEmmy for Best Kids Animation, in recognition of his work on The Smeds & The Smoos, which Daniel co-directed with fellow South African Samantha Cutler.

Daniel's work echoes through the TGE households and we were so pleased to have him in studio to chat more about his career and some of his upcoming work (including a new Julia Donaldson adaptation!).

Are you a fan of the Julia Donaldson adaptations? Let us know in the comments. They're all available to view (in South Africa) on Showmax.
