What Might Have Been: Orphanage Animation Studios

Orphanage Animation Studios was created in 2005 by San Francisco based visual effects studio The Orphanage (closed in 2009). One of OAS's first projects was The Power Of The Dark Crystal (sequel to Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal) to be directed and produced by Genndy Tartakovsky. The production suffered considerable delays and setbacks and in 2010 the Jim Henson Company pulled the project. It's been shelved in some dark room ever since. Below is a short studio tour of OAS given by Genndy.
