Plus if you also need some quality subtitles - I’d recommend hiring her. I’m about to start working on a new video - and I’m considering hiring her myself (once I finish it, and if I can afford her).

@bickpixx.bsky.social Hey Look it’s how Pat Sullivan spoke to his employees.

@marzgurl.com I actually just realized we were born on the same day - just 10 years apart.

Although because of the time zone difference I am a day ahead.

Today I’m 30!

Genndy Tartakovsky even recalled working at H-B with some aging Tom and Jerry animators:

@allisonpregler.bsky.social I remember Tex Avery was working at Hanna-Barbera towards the end of his life.

He once said to young animator: “This is where old elephants like me go to die.”

Also, according to the book The Disney Revolt: when filming the live-action reference, Rub got into conflicts with Geppetto's lead animator Art Babbitt over the character's mannerisms.

Rub said "I've been doing it this way for years." Babbitt said "Yes, and now you're going to do it right!"

... and that's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Pat Sullivan: I could go on about his racism or how he treated his staff. I'm honestly thinking about doing a video about all this.

But for now, here's a TV documentary by Canemaker about Otto Messmer from 1977:

…Also, FUCK PAT SULLIVAN!

For all the salacious and false urban legends about Walt Disney - Pat Sullivan was SO MUCH WORSE!

Like say whatever you want about Walt Disney, but unlike Sullivan, at least Walt never...

I miss the days when studio's used to put effort into DVD menus.
