Mr. Babbitt is my favorite animator at Disney because of how Richard Williams spoke of him in “The Animators Survival Kit;” since I’m both a animator and a pianist.

Loved it! O_o

Liked also the Black Cauldron poster behind Andreas Deja! :-)

Oh christ, that’s Richard Williams working on the soon to be doomed “Thief and the Cobbler.”

That’s great to see. The scenes of Art at his drawing desk were shot in the bungalow at FilmFair, where I would spend every lunch hour chatting with Art and pumping him for stories. He was a great guy. A real straight shooter.

Kaj Pindal showed this to us in animation history class, some real interesting stuff. I think Art would be a good psychiatrist, he does a great job of analyzing his characters! ;)

thanks for posting this amid, it was a real pleasure to watch. its great to see such a gentle, humble soul with so much power in his pencil.

I taped this when it was first shown on Channel 4 (UK) watched it just about every week for about a month . I still dig it out to watch every now and then. Inspirational stuff.

Really great stuff, thanks so much for sharing the link!

Can you imagine how AMAZING it must have been to have both
Babbitt AND Williams under one roof?!… (AND apparently, Ken Harris was also frequently on the scene w/ Williams back then… so cool!)

Nice way to learn even more about one of the great pioneers of our craft. :)
