This is an amazing documentary, using nothing but archival footage, to recount a
seminal period in animation's history. Narrated by Don Hahn and produced by
Peter Schnieder, both of whom were instrumental in that period, the film is
refreshingly transparent in giving true credit to those who revived Disney as a
force in animation, and taking to account those who almost destroyed it.

Garrett Gilchrist runs a great Facebook page dedicated to all things Willams, but especially to "recobbling" as much of the original footage of The Thief and the Cobbler to what Williams' originally had in mind: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/groups/379671680516/

A photo I recently came across from my days in England working at Richard Williams' studio in Camden Town. I'm the guy in mid-chew second from the top. Those were some of the most memorable times of my life, working on Williams' masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler. I have to give a shout-out to Andreas, Matt, Dietmar, Holger and Michael (he's in the photo holding the book) who run a great blog about The Thief and all things Richard Williams: http://thethief1.blogspot.com/

 

A birthday card I made for my great friend Kat's birthday last week. Besides being a fantastic hairdresser, she also runs a "marital aids products" company (as my grandmother might have called it) called Afterglow.
