He has been a tremendous influence on my career and on most animators and animation directors around the world.

When I started work with LucasArts Computer Division back in 1984, I went to the Palace of Fine Arts and saw the Festival of Animation for the first time. I loved the diverse collection of animated films the festival held.

I'm the biggest fan of animation. I love the history of animation, I know it well.
