Its actually refreshing to hear something about the PEOPLE that create the work and not just the work itself.<BR/>I wish to high HEAVEN that SOMEONE would put out a REAL book on these old giants in animation. The real lives of the originators. An in depth bio of all the known greats and the not so known greats.( Tytla,Moore etc).<BR/>thanks for a touching bit of posting.handelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349747874447104727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-1143206330627162562006-03-24T05:18:00.000-08:002006-03-24T05:18:00.000-08:00Great,Moore is my favorite animaton(along with Kim...Great,Moore is my favorite animaton(along with Kimball,Scribner and Art Davis).More You put in your bolg more I'll enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Lucas Libanio<BR/>Brazil<BR/>www.moconautas.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-1143079362325143062006-03-22T18:02:00.000-08:002006-03-22T18:02:00.000-08:00WOW!I can't thank you enough for sharing these won...WOW!I can't thank you enough for sharing these wonderful images of Fred.He's been a great inspiration to me and is definitely at the top of my list of favourite animators. His works taught me not to go too into details and technicalities of drawing out the character,but more so towards eyeballing. As long as it looks good,it's good.<BR/>Thank you thank you thank you.Sandra Khoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13334889227911396141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-1143073870186660542006-03-22T16:31:00.000-08:002006-03-22T16:31:00.000-08:00Great stuff, as always, Jenny.

So it was a physical shock to see these pictures--perhaps all the more so as Fred was so often caricatured in 2D form, especially in such an iconic fashion as was shown in the "Nifty Nineties" short.<BR/>Thanks for the nice words!Jenny Lerewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668171465801333811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-1143066338765660812006-03-22T14:25:00.000-08:002006-03-22T14:25:00.000-08:00These photos are absolutely fantastic!

There's so little of him out there on the web that he's become this enigma that no one can seem to pin down. Thank you for making it that much easier for us. Looking forward to seeing the rest of yours and James' collection! Big ups to Mr. Walker for sharing with us.

I'm thrilled to have been given access to much more material than I personally own to post here. Fred Moore fans are generous folks! I can't wait to put 'em up.<BR/>Spock(<I>love</I> writing that name!), yes, too true. Fred's alcoholism ran in his family,as it usually does for people with that problem; for those who were able to booze it up and <I>not</I> succumb, it's more a matter of genetic luck than anything else. That at least is much better understood today. It's likely that his actual death was <I>not</I> directly related to drinking(certainly not to his drinking--he wasn't even the driver of the car he was in), but from the looks of him in the last photo on this page, he was killing himself physically-inadvertently-with alcohol. It's terribly sad, a true tragedy.Jenny Lerewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668171465801333811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19218379.post-1143056385111506162006-03-22T11:39:00.000-08:002006-03-22T11:39:00.000-08:00My teachers always mentioned Freddie in voices tin...My teachers always mentioned Freddie in voices tinged with admiration and sadness. It was a different time then, and alcohol was the socially acceptable nervous system depressant of choice.
