No one digs Warner Bros cartoons?

Probably should have gone with clips from Fritz the Cat.

WB cartoons were awesome. I particularly liked Bob Clampett's work.

I met with Clampett a few times and he used to tell great stories about the Termite Terrace, the home of the Warner animation division. Like how they used to distract the censor during scenes that they knew wouldn't pass by spilling coffee on him. Or gluing tiny paper airplanes to the feet of files they would catch in the bug infested office and letting them take to the air.

He was loathed by the other directors though as he claimed to create BB which wasn't quite true.

Here's a classic Clampett: A CORNY CONCERTO

That's pretty awesome! When and how did you meet him? Yes, I knew that others didn't like him (the exception being, I think, Chuck Jones). He certainly was the most daring of the directors, and his senses of timing and wit were unparalleled by others in the WB camp, in my opinion.

I was an animation director many years ago we crossed paths at various slim festivals/events. I think I have a signed Beany and Cecil cel somewhere he gave me. Also got to know a few of Disney's "Nine Old Men."

Jones did not like Clampett.

Hmmmm...I can't remember who it was, but it was one of the big names at WB during that time.

My work back then was mostly experimental and more popular in Europe, Japan and Canada. The old guys liked me because I was colourful. Frank Thomas (one of the Nine Old Men) once made fun of the red beret I was wearing in front of about 200 animators at the NFB in Canada. Fucker. In retrospect, I probably deserved it. Definitely not Jones. Read Chuck Amuck. lefty

Onto some Disney.

Here's a clip of the great animator Milt Kahl's King Louie from The Jungle Book.



And a blog by Michael Sporn with some of Kahl's drawings. I would love to own one of these originals.
