Aaron Long (animator)

Aaron Long (born March 1, 1990) is a Canadian animator and filmmaker. He is best known for his work directing the television series Bojack Horseman and for his independent cartoons featuring the character Fester Fish, for which he performs the voice as well as animates. The series has won several awards and been screened at animation festivals around the world.

Long principally uses the software Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop to create his films. Long's work is strongly influenced by theatrical animation of the 1940s, particularly directors Bob Clampett, Tex Avery and Chuck Jones.
