The only issue I have with it is the same as I have with all the other suggestions: we are just guessing. Somebody's got to go into the animation morgue and dig out the scene folder and see if they can figure out where the scene comes from and who animated it.<BR/><BR/>I used to know many people at Disney, but I'm not close to anybody who's there now. Maybe somebody will take it on themselves to figure this out and then let us all know.Mark Mayersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065971589878678848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-68650314473348949682007-06-22T17:05:00.000-04:002007-06-22T17:05:00.000-04:00Fascinating stuff, Mark!

It was their job to animate.<BR/><BR/>Willie Ito told me that the work for an inbetweener at Warners would vary randomly from the Jones, Freleng, or McKimson units. I know that gave the inbetweener practice to draw in different styles, but that's just crazy.Thadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04443425643665474645noreply@blogger.com
