That Ken Harris interview is really interesting. Thanks for posting it.

Since this thread is in a bit of a rut currently, I'll post some great examples of animation that I've found recently.

^Aleksandr Petrov, a commercial and a recent short film that'll hopefully win the Oscar

Prince Vladimir (click on the 25,66 Mb link)
Street Musique (the first little bit is live action)

The other night, GBStv aired The Curious Adventures of Mr. Wonderbird. It's a 1952 French animated film that's splendid. The animation is stunning... extremely fluid. A lot of the fluid "pose to pose" movement is reflected in the early Nasrudin clip that ocp posted a while back. While American animation often tended to be more graceful, the European works I've seen (also, Zagreb) have nearly non-stop movement. Sort of really fluid counterparts to the bouncy Max Fleischer classics. Richard Williams seemed to have a more European style to his early work.
