[What did he animate on Roger Rabbit?] Because I joined the crew later than most, I asked Dick where was I needed the most. He answered: "Weasels. No one wants to do them." So I did a lot of weasels, including the scenes where they all die. I also animated some of the gorilla bouncer at the Ink & Paint Club, and a lot on the finale. I animated Woody Woodpecker, Sylvester, Yosemite Sam and Dumbo. I did the last shot of the picture. I'll always remember it. One hundred characters, 28 runs under the camera for 38 feet, (45 feet is 30 seconds), 14 levels. All singing, all dancing. Zemeckis wanted it to look like the last shot of Hitchcock's The Birds, except with toons. I also got to animate some of the last voice work of Mel Blanc, doing Sylvester. He died two months later. I studied Rod Scribner, Clampett's Sylvester from Kitty Cornered, Dick Lundy's Woody Woodpecker. Show less «
