Whatever Happened to Will Vinton?


After being booted from the company he founded (now named Laika), he co-wrote a graphic novel called Jack Hightower. He'll be appearing on January 17 at 11 a.m. at the Miami University of Art & Design, talking about the book and his career in animation. More details here.

    Forgive the off-topicness.
    Any possibility of an analysis of the animators in Disney's "The Moth and the Flame"?
    Thanks in advance.

    I don't know if Hans Perk has a draft for that cartoon. I know that Izzy Klein did a lot of animation on the boy and girl moths. I also know that Burt Gillett was the initial director but left the studio before the cartoon was finished and that Dick Huemer finished it up.

    Unfortunately, I have no idea who else worked on the cartoon. I would love to know who animated the flame character.

    Thanks.
    I'd like to know myself who animated the female moth (That looks like a Natwick creature of the early Thirties) and the flame character.
