We want them to each make a cell with a photo background in class, and want the true artists to visit with them online. There is so much lost with the newer cold ways. I say this as a mother, fan of Chuck Jones and the like from that era. <br /><br />If any of you have suggestions of who might be interested in this type of event after the holidays, please let me know. susan at susanfinch dot comsuzbinkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13600319197246613923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-15099924041751354392013-04-13T11:07:49.311-07:002013-04-13T11:07:49.311-07:00As an animation fan, hearing some of the names att...As an animation fan, hearing some of the names attached to this is heartbreaking. The writing was on the wall when Andreas Deja and Glen Keane departed, but it's still tragic. I remember what a great character Nik Ranieri's Charlotte was in PRINCESS AND THE FROG, and I am very sad.<br /><br />I am an MBA student and keep hoping when I graduate, I could find a way to revitalize hand-drawn animation.

Alas, I went downhill from there, and joined Warner's TV Animation and went on to win three Emmys with the Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain crew. Alas, Disney was the be all ans end all. Too bad I wasn't able to work on Bonkers. Oh yeah... also was nominated for an Annie against Toy Story for directing a three minute short making fun of The Lion King. Life after Disney?

And congratulations to the new companies that will be benefiting from this.mark pudleinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11625936782072187091noreply@blogger.com
