THE JOHN HUBLEY STORY
By Noell Wolfgram Evans
The
history of animation is known to the general public by two names:
Disney and Warners. Ask any 'man on the street' what they know about
animation and inevitably these studios or their characters will be
invoked. The contributions by the artists and management of these
studios is immeasurable and their praises should be sung, but not
so loudly as to drown out the accomplishment and contributions of
other studios and artists, particularly those that became of age or
began during animation's Golden Age. You can view of course the technical
accomplishments of the Fleischer Studios and the entertainment of
MGM but this article will look at the particular accomplishments of
one man and one studio who happened upon each other at the right time
and changed animation.

Bazley is turning "The Journal of Edwin Carp" into the
animated Edwin Carp.
So

one of the lead animators on The Iron Giant and Disney's Hercules
to take time out to turn a book into an animated short?
