Can you tell us a little more about it, or maybe you have a copy yourself? <br />https://www.ebay.com/itm/Conversation-with-Andreas-Deja-Marc-Davis-1994-Walt-Disney-Studio-VHS-Interview/202770289083?pageci=b01f114e-9af9-4bb9-be32-3c9ada45b572Marc Hendryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549932443429596568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-74758576655192271702019-09-03T01:36:41.407-07:002019-09-03T01:36:41.407-07:00I was lucky enough to meet Mr.Williams 2 or 3 time...I was lucky enough to meet Mr.Williams 2 or 3 times, and his enthusiasm was super infectious! The first time was at an event for his 80th birthday, and he was STILL all excited and awed, talking about Shere Khan. Even though at the time his own work was mega-advanced in his own way.<br />What an honour to meet a real master like thatMarc Hendryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549932443429596568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-60502316195305119912019-09-01T07:22:25.839-07:002019-09-01T07:22:25.839-07:00My friends from Nemo Academy were trying to bring ...My friends from Nemo Academy were trying to bring him to Florence for their Nemoland award. Myself and Francesco, one of the owners of Nemo, had lunch with him and his wife in Annecy and it looked like it could happen. I was planing to do something when he got on the stage before the beginning of the workshop. Richard told of the time Milt Kahl visited his studio. When Milt arrived, Richard ran to meet him, kneeled down and started to shine his shoes as to show respect for the great animator. I was planing to do just that on the day of the workshop, it would be an honor and he would have got a kick out of that.

In fact, I will always and always will remember Richard Williams' work not only on Roger Rabbit, but also on his unfinished Arabian nights-inspired animated epic The Thief and the Cobbler among other things he does, like commercials, titles for two of the Pink Panther movies from the 70s, or even a half hour wordless short that he did in 1958 called the Little Island, for instance. May he rest in peace.timbox129https://www.blogger.com/profile/05121529447852524990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-13198984498740086532019-08-31T13:18:37.887-07:002019-08-31T13:18:37.887-07:00What a wonderful memory of a wonderful time with s...What a wonderful memory of a wonderful time with such a wonderful and talented man.
