The PowerPuff Girls and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends Executive Linda Simensky

It's safe to say without Linda Simensky, that we wouldn't have the level of animation that we have today. With shows like Powerpuff Girls, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Rocko's Modern Life, Ed, Edd n Eddy, Rugrats, Doug, Ren and Stimpy and as well as so many more. Well, we might still have those shows, but they wouldn't be the outstanding cartoons and spectacular animation that we know and love today. She fostered a playground for these creators to work in that exuded the best material during the animation renaissance from the early 90's until now. The aforementioned creators of the shows up above know just how hard Mrs. Simensky worked and went to bat for them on a regular basis. And in Some cases as she details it (PowerPuff Girls) was so close to not getting made, but with her tutelage, never give up mentality and pure adoration for this median (animation) is the reason we can look back so fondly over the last 30 years of animation and say, my childhood was great! Linda is the head of Animation at Duolingo, as well as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania with classes like, the history of American Animation, The Animation of Disney and so many other fantastic courses!
