Just did a brand new reel on someone so underrated that this is the first time I've used MGM footage in a video! Robert Bentley not only has a great animation style, but also a vast number of uncredited works that have slipped through the ages. youtu.be/F1bcWLu7p2E

Another animator reel from me: Winfield Hoskins, an incredibly underrated artist who animated at both Disney and Fleischers. It wasn't until recently that this artist was identified, so please take a look! www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3Qc...

Before the year ends, I am writing about Heihachiro Tanaka, an obscure but notable Japanese animator with a 50-year career worthy of an article. Although much is unknown about this artist, I'm going to give him a better write-up as I have recently created a video reel on him. youtu.be/tJXTAnTcb3Q
