The era of 'The Jungle Book' was when the animators were at the top of their game and their sense of character was great.

People were very nice to me. They knew I didn't have the money to do figure-drawing classes, so they let me annex the figure-drawing classes that the animators had.

The people around us are at the top of their craft, and we benefit from that.

When animators weren't sleeping, they were drinking.

I was mentored by great Disney animators at the end of their careers.

The book is really important in the sense that this is gonna be it.
