Friday Fun Link - Mr. Fun
Originally published at The Ink and Pixel Club. Please leave any comments there.
What could be a more appropriate Friday Fun Link than a site called Mr. Fun? And when Mr. Fun is animator and story artist Floyd Norman, you know you’re in for some juicy stories about the history of animation from someone who was there to see it happen. Floyd Norman has worked at the Disney studios on and off for decades. He was there when Walt Disney and the Nine Old Men were still part of the studio. He has worked on TV shows and specials from Hey, Hey, Hey, It’s Fat Albert to Smurfs to Beverly Hills Teens. He also co-founded the AfroKids animation studio. More recently, he’s been back at Disney and Pixar, storyboarding on a variety of films.
When Floyd Norman writes about animation, it’s well worth reading. He doesn’t sugarcoat the realities of what goes into making animation. His firsthand accounts of life at Disney when the original legends of the studio walked the halls are fascinating. The site is divided into short blog posts, longer stories, and gag drawings poking fun at the animation industry. No matter what kind of take on animation you’re in the mood for, Mr. Fun has something to keep you entertained.
