This caused some kind of clash between the old and new animators during production on The Fox and the Hound.hassanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588215881385811264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-35110787606959768582012-03-16T10:20:11.387-07:002012-03-16T10:20:11.387-07:00In the 70's there was a magazine called, PRINT...In the 70's there was a magazine called, PRINT and they ran an extensive article on the new intake with many of the same pics. Also Funnyworld ran a back cover ad with the first page image, (above). On my way from NZ to England in 79, I wrote a letter to Disney's saying Id be in LA for 3 days and could I come out to the studio with my porfolio. I got a letter back saying there probably wouldn't be anyone available to look at my work. So I didn't go, plus I'm not sure how I thought I was going to get from my downtown hotel out to Burbank and back... Not knowing how the public transport system work in LA.spokeshavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785132711227936751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-82696698040215796202012-03-09T07:56:20.211-08:002012-03-09T07:56:20.211-08:00I remember this as a very exciting time although I...I remember this as a very exciting time although I had already been booted out of Disney by "Fast Eddie" because I was too slow and "too old."

I thought to myself, "THIS is what I have to draw like to be a Disney animator??" You set a very high bar, but your drawings WERE the bar to reach. I was intimidated and in awe and still to this day. Haven't reached that bar or even come close yet, but funny how it has come full circle for you since then.
