Sweetheart, I'm The Biggest Ripped-off Cartoonist In

Wizards Was My Homage To Tolkien In The American Idiom. I Had Read Tolkien, Understood Tolkien, And Wanted To Do A Sort Of Fantasy For American Kids, And That Was Wizards.

I Would Like To Have The Original Ending To My Lord Of The Rings Instead Of The One They Released. In My Original Cut I Had The Victory At Helm's Deep As The Final Sequence.

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.

As An Artist, I Want To Interpret My Feelings - Not Run Across The Street And Ask What My Mother Thinks.

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