November 23rd sees the start of the 2nd Pictoplasma animation festival in Berlin. Billed as "An extended weekend celebrating the very best in animation, motion graphics and music visuals", it showcases all that's great and good in the world of animation and character design. We attended the event 2 years ago, it's a superb festival in one of Europe's most vibrant cultural spots and we're rather pleased to have our Nickelodeon idents included.
