John and Faith Hubley's Oscar-nominated short Of Men and Demons (1969). Very hard to find, and this version definitely doesn't have the best image quality. However, it will have to do until a restored print is available. Enjoy!
Art Babbitt animated the little man throwing a net. He slaved over that net. Every little square had to be in the right place while it was flying through the air. I just sold some drawings of the little man. He animated at home so my Mom Barbara always pulled out what he tossed in the trash. They were married about 1967. He bought her a 67 turquoise Mustang. This was around then. H we could still see out if both eyes. He soon after lost sight in one eye. While driving to San Jose to visit me and my family, the in-laws from my Moms marriage to her Ex, his eye slowly closed down on him until he could only see out of a pin hole in the center. It never got better. He kept animating. Amazing artist. Amazing self discipline.
