It’s called Rauch BROTHERS Animation for a reason. That one little word in the center of our studio name is the lynch-pin that makes the whole thing work. I can’t imagine being responsible for all of the work that goes into making an animated film without someone whose creative opinion I trust as deeply as I trust Mike’s. Throughout the process of selecting material, producing and promoting a film, we are constantly able to check one another and provide full, honest criticism without anyone “taking it personal”.  Hey, he’s my brother, he’s said worse things to me than “that animation is terrible, throw it out and do it over”.

Case in point: this animated logo I designed for our studio. Mike knows a steaming pile of Bad Idea when he sees it and nixed the idea. Funny thing is, it accurately portrays our relationship (for the most part). Big brother looking out for little. Fortunately, Mike recognized it as not really a great way to kick off a film about the death of a child soldier and this thing never got past pencil test. Enjoy!

    Next time, Mike should pick nits out of your hair.. you know, monkey-style.
    Just kidding. I love every bit of animation that has ever come out of the house of Rauch. Keep trucking.. you guys rock!

    I like this little piece of animation but it's actually a little bit creepy...

    hey i love this. I hope you have not totally abandoned this idea, perhaps in front of other work.
  • Mike Rauch
    Such love in our family. It's really heartwarming! ;)

    Hey,
    Since I'm married to Mike and am even more of a pain in the ass than he is, "taking it personal" is bad grammar, you need to change that to "taking it personally". Just thought I'd let you know that your grammar is a steaming pile. ;) Love ya lil' brother in law!
