<h2 id="history">History</h2>

<p>In 1995, <a href="/facts/Ron_Diamond/juAeLAFp">Ron Diamond</a> partnered with Dan Sarto and founded the Animation World Network. A year after <i><a href="/facts/Toy_Story/DoyMSJPT">Toy Story</a></i> debuted, Sarto and Diamond produced their first issue. "Back then there weren't many people publishing on the Internet, but we decided to go online and bypass print altogether; not just for cost reasons but because animators are always ahead of the curve when it comes to exploring new technologies," Diamond said.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a>
