Not a bad thing, actually, as it gives us a tantalizing impression of what that film might have looked like had Disney gone ahead with it. Very appealing animation!<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure those guys in uniform are real animators, though. I've seen animators working today, and they all wear oversize Hawaiian shirts, shorts and sandals. Yes, I'm convinced those men in their crisp, pressed uniforms must be imposters...Pete Emsliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01451607722482352366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-60970524899748534462008-05-27T13:24:00.000-04:002008-05-27T13:24:00.000-04:00Thanks for posting this, Mark.

They used "signal corps" my lightbox had three round pegs for 3-hole looseleaf.Michael Spornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02018522723674960270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-64955440368325894282008-05-26T23:03:00.000-04:002008-05-26T23:03:00.000-04:00I like how Barney Bear ranks high enough to be men...I like how Barney Bear ranks high enough to be mentioned with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
