Chuck Menville was one of the nicest guys in animation. He left us far too early.

Interesting to know that Chuck Menville’s son Scott is a voice actor in cartoons these days (he was Kevin French in MISSION HILL and Robin in TEEN TITANS). I just want Scott to know that he had a great dad.

More to the point, I saw STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN (very similar to VICIOUS CYCLES, and also starring Menville) not too long ago on Turner Classic Movies! It blew my mind! It’s like watching Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, only as men on imaginary cars, moving around in stop motion.

I was thinking the same thing Tom wrote when I watched these.

We were lucky enough to write for Chuck and Len on Ghostbusters as one of our first jobs.

All 3 Chuck Menville shorts are still available for commercial sale from Pyramid Media on VHS. I bought a copy a couple of years ago. At that time, BLAZE GLORY was not available on DVD, but it is now, for $39.00. That may seem a bit steep, but remember they don’t typically market to individuals - they sell to schools and libraries, therefore the high cost is for public performance license. The DVD is available for personal use, according to their site - http://www.pyramidmedia.com.

“…ma’am…”

I purchased the 16mm Pyramid Film at auction , along with other films. This film seems to be somewhat popular,also fairly funny, is there a value to having the 16mm original and what would the value be?
