TAG Interview with Bob Schaefer
Find all TAG Interviews on the TAG website at this link
Bob Schaefer began his career in backgrounds with work on "The Flintstones" in the 1960s. "Doing the insides of the caves was simple. A little sponge work for texture, a few wall cracks, and you were there" ...
Bob was more interested in complex and realistic work, and found that in abundance when he worked on many of the animated sequels that Disney Toons was producing in the 1990s:
"On Lady and the Tramp: Scamp's Adventure and Cinderella III we had to duplicate the work of the older films. On L and T I had to paint a master setup of the parlor, which they didn't do in the original. It was a challenge, but I like challenges."

Wow. That Cinderella II background is PURPLE! Looks as if it has the fingerprints of sharon morrill and disney marketing all OVER it.
"imple"?
"testure"?
Check the spelling, dude.
^ Yes, proof-reading is a good thing.
Thanks for the correction.
At least he's still at it.
And yes, it was a good idea to interview this guy. People need to know!
Wow! I just watched Bob Schaefer's hour long interview and it was so fun. It brought back so many memories of many years ago. Funny that I have a picture of Bob with those paisley pants, mustache and hair. Great life you have had.
