The experience at Animagic was incredibly disappointing. I’m truly surprised it never took off and became a successful chain.Īs a grown up, I’ve been a part of some really solid animation productions and I’ve also been a part of some real clunkers. I called my stand “The Cool Off and Laugh Spot”. I was a big fan of puns, so a typical cartoon would say something like, “Look out, Bob’s on a roll!” written under a crude drawing of a guy running atop an actual dinner roll. As a kid, I’d set up my homemade lemonade stand by the side of the road and if you bought a cup of lemonade it would be accompanied by a silly cartoon written and drawn by yours truly. Good question! I guess ever since I can remember I’ve been a mix of creativity and entrepreneurship. How much did your burst of creativity and entrepreneurship have to do with reacting to what happened at Animagic? Since that company closed you started your own animation company, Tricycle Films, and have had success in development at PBS Kids as well as your own children’s book published at Random House. 1-You had the experience of supervising Storyboards on the aborted production produced “Nate the Great,” at the short-lived NY Studio Animagic.
