    One of my biggest heroes. From his hardscrabble attitude, to his child of immigrants upbringing, and pure can do independent philosophy-- he was a major influence at a very young age. I was introduced to him by a cousin who was obsessed with Bakshi in the 70s who also attended the HS of industrial design. I never wanted to do animation, but Bakshi made me want to make comics and narrative arts. Love this guy so much. THIS guy, watch his interviews, the doc, you'll learn most of what you need to find your independent vision and backbone.
    Truly, thank you for this gift.

      It’s because people today have no sense of history that I mean for anything not even in the things that they claim they’re interested inFor any independent animator not to know who this man is is a crime

    A LIVING LEGEND!
    Beyond what you may think about your art individually, taste is subjective, the passion with which you have led your career and the decisions you have made to get ahead with each project you have undertaken is admirable. For me it is an example of inspiration.

    Besides Heavy Metal, Bakshi's works were the first adult animations I saw prior to my getting into anime. Seemed appropriate I guess that I'd see him hosting Sci-Fi Channel's 2nd annual anime fest back in 1994.

    Was a treat to listen in. When I was younger I mostly didn't like the 70s animation and styles he used, yet somehow or other I still found myself watching many some of his movies and now, on the other side of 30, I find myself loving his movies. Very interesting guy. I think Fire and Ice is my favorite of his so far.

    I would've liked to hear about the fate of the Spain Rodriguez art produced for Cool World, particularly the covers he drew for the prop comics in the comic book shop scene. A couple of them are findable on line, as well as a couple of pages of actual comics Spain drew to dress the set, but I'd love to get a good look at all of them (seem to be at least six different covers in the scene). There is nothing more tantalizing to a comics fan than getting a fleeting glimpse of some exotic comic and never seeing it again.

    • @coffeejunkie7954

    • @Danaluni59
      @Danaluni59 3 роки тому +5

      I felt the Jackson trilogy owed more to the bakshi version than was credited by Peter and crew, for sure. The Bakshi version holds up very well to this day.

    • @gabrielzayas2251
      @gabrielzayas2251 3 роки тому +1

      I don't care much for Bakshi's Lord of the Rings anymore, because on a technical level is not good, Jackson's version has much better technical level.

    Great interview dudes! I have a cel from Wizards I bought from the Bakshis, of Avatar. I love it!!
    As for Crumb's dislike of the Fritz movie, I think its just Crumb's nature of griping and being anti everything, in Terry Zwigoff's doco, Crumb bitched about how much he hates "Keep on truckin" even though it would have earned him heaps. He's just a grump.

    To the rotoscoping is cheaper thing: quadrupeds are really hard to animate, crowd shots are too. One of the documentaries on Hayao Miyazaki showed in his last movie he spent a full year with a whole year with a team of animators to do one that lasted seconds.
