Disney Had Such A Hold On The

Look What Disney's Done To Their Animation Department. There Wasn't An Animator In Charge Of Their Animation Unit!

I Hired Bob At Terrytoons. He Was My Assistant Animator, And Then Became An Animator Himself. He Had Just Come From Boston With His Family And Was A Brilliant Draftsman As Well As A Great Jazz Guitarist. We Had Lots Of Fun Nights In Greenwich Village Together And Then Later Hanging In La. Bob Worked On Fritz The Cat , Heavy Traffic , Coonskin , And On Wizards . I Am Terribly Saddened By His Passing And Will Miss Him Dearly.

I Had The X Rating On My Films. Now They Do As Much On The Simpsons As I Got An X Rating For Fritz The Cat.

The Rise Of Anime Had To Happen. If The Japanese Could Tell Better American Stories, It Would Go Through The Roof. They Still Tell Stories Which Are Very Much Oriental. I Take My Hat Off To Them.

What's Most Important In Animation Is The Emotions And The Ideas Being Portrayed. I'm A Great Believer Of Energy And Emotion.
