I did enjoy the place, I didn't… not necessarily enjoy the people I was working immediately. Because I could see that they had very little respect or knowledge or whatever of their studies, of animation or the drawings, you know? And I also, I feel that they resented me because I came in so late, you know? And because they'd been together already, like maybe a year or so. And then that was an unpleasant situation that never got any better. So I was really working against a group of people that said, 'What the hell are you doing here?'
The late Hungarian-American film-maker Jules Engel is best known for his contribution to the field of animation. His work includes the dance sequences in Walt Disney's 'Fantasia' and the creation of 'Mr Magoo'. His films and lithographs are housed in museums all over the world and have won many awards.
