Creators Talk The Vulture That Traumatized A Generation | Splat Attack Podcast

Creators Talk The Vulture That Traumatized A Generation | Splat Attack Podcast


Back in the cold winter of 1995, a class from PS 124 in New York sought out to make a short for Nickelodeon. That short ended up being one of the most famous or is it one of the most notorious? What was intended to be a comical tale for SNICK SNACK ended up being nightmare fuel for many. The question is, what happened? Where did this idea come from? How did this get made? Now we know. Joining the crew in the studio are one of the creators Jessica (Liu) Chan and the child director Nina Mui. They share with us their journey from school project to 90s Nick fame as we discuss the making of "Attack of the Giant Vulture."
