"Working with Director Trevor Hierons on Vida the Vet has been a total joy! His creative vision, quirky sense of humor, and collaborative spirit made every step of the process a delight — not easy to do within a tight animation pipeline. Trevor’s whimsical story sketches and wonderfully inventive ideas consistently elevate the show, infusing it with warmth, wit, and heart. I’d jump at the chance to work with him again!"
