Richard Williams discusses Milt Kahl
Фильм және анимация
As part of the Marc Davis Celebration of Animation, the Academy presented a centennial celebration of Milt Kahl: The Animation Michelangelo.
This taped tribute was recorded by animator Richard Williams in London, and was presented as the closing tribute on the day of the show, April 27, 2009.

Note: The 20 minute screening of "The Thief" at Skywalker Ranch (as mentioned by Dick in the video) was later discovered by Robert Zemeckis and Steven Spielberg, who at the time were searching for an animation director for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit."

Richard genuinely admires and respected Milt Kahl so much so that he spent years trying to get Milt himself to admit he was the world's greatest animator
.... glad to know they're back together again.

@@SpiderandMosquito I wouldn't say that - it's actually a rather sweet comment and a lovely thought that they're reunited now. I was actually crying by the end of this vid.
Richard was very lucky to actually hang out and talk to the greats in animation. I'm so envious.
RIP Williams.

Miyazaki (and all anime, by definition) is limited in motion, but make up for it with smart key poses and higher detail. In the rare event that the animation is bumped to 24 frames a second, like in Spirited Away when Chihiro and Haku were flying down the chimney, it's an overload of "stuff happening." Milt was more about clarity than just fluidity or detail. Whatever pose he drew, it was the best way to draw it.

Youre confusing Miyazaki and anime tv production. No need to compare Milt and Miyazaki. Both are great
I can't believe he actually named "The Thief" in this video. If only he would give us more information about it.
Both of them are my great animation mentors.... Richard Williams is an icon!!! Milt Kahl...what can we say bout him? THE BEST!!!! THANK YOU MILT, THANK YOU RICHARD!
Here's hoping they're making heaven a riot to be in. R.I.P Richard and Milt.
RIP Mr. Williams, your legacy will live on through the people you inspired.
I got a nice reply to my fan letter from Milt Kahl..

No?
Milt Khal was the Alex Toth of animation and Toth the Khal of comic books. Both relentlessly dedicated to a high level design, characterization, style, and finish in their field, and demanded the same from their peers. Their love of their craft made them difficult at times, uncompromising, and abit scary to to those intimidated by their infamous reputations. May we all strive for the best as did Khal, Williams, and Toth did.

YES! Probably Toth was more articulated than Kahl, but they shared this harsh, uncompromising attitude towards the art.
What an absolutely great you both are..I always think that Im the most huge fan of Milt Kahl in the world, but there is a lot like me XD . I love too much that you shared this video with us..Huge hug from Spain.
It's hard to find people like these guys nowadays
Get Richard william’s book! It shows you the world of animation
Just goes to show: everyone has a hero.
Amazing artists and with amazing personalities. what else can I say?
Unlike anything else to hear our determined animator/musician reminisce about the expert draftsman of realistic and full of personality characters.🎯✏🎬🎥🤝🏾☀️ Stay safe everyone!
who's cutting the damn onions???
There's a parallel to this story. In Europe, André Franquin is considered the premiere comics artist, even extending the abilities of Giraud/Moebius. There only ever was one person who didn't like the drawings of Franquin, and that was Franquin himself.
3:34 will always get me😂😂😂
RIP Richard Williams

that hurts man...
All of life and our ability to create comes from the unknown. Taking ‘personal’ credit for work done ‘through you’ is the mistake most people make. Knowing now that Milt was very reluctant to admit this, no wonder his work was so good - he disappeared and let the work create itself. There’s no need whatsoever to take personal credit when this happens.
@BroadwayRULZ I know, its amazing! I guess hes not too depressed about his movie anymore. But, as far as him talking more about it or attempting to revive it, i wouldnt count my chickens b4 they hatch.
Where did this take place for this clip?
Nobody does hand drawn animation better than the US did.

You should watch the documentary "Joy in Motion" wherein Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston admit that Isao Takahata's movie "Jarinko Chie" surpassed anything that Disney did. Peter Chung also has some stories about how floored veteran Disney animators were by Ghibli's work. Pretty sure he knows more about animation than you. Anyway, the fact that Ghibli is full of amazing draftsmen doesn't lessen Milt's achievements.

What? Pinocchio is the best hand drawn feature ever made. Nothing comes close especially out of Japan.
Damn, he actually mentioned his film. Anyway Milt Kahl is awesome. Though I think some of Miyazaki's guys probably surpassed him in skill.

In terms of character animation you must be joking. You're just an anime fanboy. What a clown comment.

I think both are skilled and amazing animators. They just have different approaches and different tones of story telling. In terms of movement Disney animators tend to go on the overly expressive route while Ghiblis more on the realistic side. In the end animation is about how you can convey a characters emotions and intentions while making them feel believable which both have done successfully
Porque me salen estas cosas en recomendados XD
Yes, Miyazaki's guys surpassed Milt Kahl's 24 FPS innovation with there 5 FPS choppy and lazy limited animation. Laughable comment.
