Dale is a great guy.
Did the battery run out at the end of the interview? It seemed to end abruptly.
Aside from that, this is one of my favorite interviews. He has some great anecdotes about what and how he learned, as well as some great historical notes.
Dale Baer is a great guy. He was helpful to me during some rather dark days at Disney during the seventies.
Sadly, I doubt the studio appreciates his talent and what he's contributed. Then again - what else is new?
Interview is in three parts (last segment tomorrow.)
We fade at about the 35 minute mark. No batter failure.
Jesus Floyd you are so grumpy. Get over it.
I'm a happy camper.
Sounds like you're the grumpy one.
Aside from the commercial jobs and the one or two projects he did during his time off from Disney, I noticed he got credited for character designs for a Japanese-animated feature from Toei called "Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp" (though his surname got misspelled as "Bear", which I wouldn't blame them for not knowing). I guess it sometimes fascinates me to learn of those American animators involved in projects from Japanese studios like this.
