I remember watching stuff with this guy when I was little. I really liked him. The way he described being an animator made me really want to be one.

I'm currently re-watching the "Disney Family Album" that featured him (all these years later on Youtube). I love his philosophy about animation and making things come to life in a way where they exist as themselves and we identify with them as a form of entertainment. That type of approach is why I've always preferred what Disney did over other animation projects like Loony Tunes (which I also like but not as much).
