Another fave of mine. I'm sure I've watched his animated film, Wizards, a score of times and I love it more and more. He's often suffered from a lack of funding, and that has affected his work and projects. But he was out there making American animation count for something when it had all but been abandoned to corporate hacks in the 70's.
