Animation and me...

The infamous John Culhane,  chronicler of Studio Disney and author of Fantasia 2000: Visions of Hope, among others, has asked me to teach his class "The History of Animation" at Mercy College while he recovers from an operation. Luckily all the little creatures are still running around in his head, but the class will be challenging for me. Last night I watched Willie the Whale and a few Daffy Ducks to get up to speed. Its very exciting that an animator just won the Pulitzer Prize: http://www.markfiore.com/pulitzer/
