That doesn't really make much sense, because Bill Tytla was probably the top animator at the time and he did most of the elephant animation, 92 shots!

I guess this type of assignment was the next step up, although I was surprised to see Jaxon directing such a sequence rather than Bill Roberts, who seems to have been the director who usually worked with him around this point.John V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03797446614799654346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-50787396047793060832010-06-15T12:06:14.319-04:002010-06-15T12:06:14.319-04:00Wonderful post, as always.

I would have liked to have seen him challenged with more quiet, personality scenes like these.Eric Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05872046921674512158noreply@blogger.com
