Awesome post! Thanks alot!
I've been a fan of Mr. Casarosa for a few years now (he puts out sketch books and stuff at Comic Con) so it's always fun to hear what he has to say. Especially when it's about two of the best animation houses in the industry.
Hmmmm if you like Casarosa, have you heard of Robert Valley? Or Enrique Fernandez?
Robert Valley is a veteran animator who worked on Aeon Flux and the Gorillaz videos, among lots of other stuff.
Here's his website (click on the blog for more images):

Here's a pencil test for Chronicles of Riddick:

Here's an awesome Guitar Hero 2 commercial he worked on:

and here's a short film that he did (not work safe):

I really love the way he draws people. He's like a combination of Egon Schiele and Takashi Koike, with all the animation skills of a classic Disney animator.
Enrique Fernandez is also excellent. I think he's the best comics artist in Europe right now. He's undoubtably trained in animation, and he makes the most beautiful comics. They are so full of life and character and weight, but without cloy conventions typical of animators who draw comics.
Image comics recently released his Wizard of Oz comic in the US, which can be purchased here:

The comic is rediculously good looking:

Enrique Ferandez was also the storyboard artist on the hilariously bad El Cid animated feature, which was obviously aimed at an American audience, but never actually made its way here. It was a nicely animated film, even if everyone was freakishly huge with tiny hands. It had a terrible, terrible story though, with awful voice acting.
Anyway, i love the work these guys produce. Enjoy!

Awesome links, thanks very much! I had heard of Enrique Fernandez and was very happy when I found out Wizard of Oz was brought out here, the artwork is extraordinary as you noted! However, I had no idea he worked for Filmax, which by the way I had forgotten the name of and had been searching for for a good few weeks lately. So thanks alot for that too! Robert Vally, though, is new to me, but the stuff you linked me to was freakin' all kinds of awesome! I get what you were saying about the classic Disney feeling from his animation, everything moves really cleanly and fluidly but it's still easy to note the exaggerated look of it. Also I can see the Egon Schiele as well and now that I've researched into Takeshi Koike as well I can say he's also an artist I admire. Thanks again for all the artist links and stuff.
