He was retired, and seemed very mellow compared to the demon he had been at the studio. Age does that, I guess.Floyd Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635960964922892254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-22774746839565396122010-01-26T16:15:23.179-08:002010-01-26T16:15:23.179-08:00There's Geronimi.

The most hated guy at the studio. <br /><br />He was apparently vulgar, profane, and a real piece of work, from the various stories I've heard.<br /><br />The animators hated him so much they refused to work with him.

I still remember his warm smile.<br /><br />Jaxon learned the business on the fly. No film school, no art school, he simply jumped in and started doing the job. That's why the old guys were so great.Floyd Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635960964922892254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-76607432128038586442010-01-26T08:54:47.044-08:002010-01-26T08:54:47.044-08:00My belated happy Birthday wishes to Wilfred.My belated happy Birthday wishes to Wilfred.Chicken cooperhttp://chickencoopblog.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
