TESTIMONIALS
Margot Stafford
​
At Toon Dojo our son is receiving a college-like education in animation but with more attention and care than he would receive at any college. Brian Finlay has a created a curriculum designed to help students succeed. He is encouraging, supportive, and has a true love for the art of animation that infuses all he does.The progress our son has made in just one year is amazing! We are grateful for the unique learning experience Toon Dojo offers and for the ways it is helping to shape a new generation of New Brunswick artists.
