For over 40 years Keith Alcorn has been involved in all facets of animation. In 1987 he co-founded DNA Productions, Inc. DNA provided script to screen services for Corporate and Commercial clients until they transitioned to the Entertainment Industry and became one of the largest animation facilities in the U.S. In 1997, Alcorn served as producer/character designer for the 1997 ABC animated Christmas special, "Santa vs. the Snowman".

Alcorn also served as director/co-executive producer on the Nickelodeon series, "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius" before serving as executive producer on the feature film, "The Ant Bully" for Warner Brothers and Tom Hanks. In 2010 Alcorn was co-creator/executive producer/director/writer for the Nickelodeon animated series, "Planet Sheen". Following "Planet Sheen" he went on to write and direct the faith-based animated series, "Owlegories" and the hour-long documentary, "Back on Badstreet".

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
