'Kay, but although I know for a fact the toons are shot on 35 mil, it was
like, oh, 1986 when I was in the studio to watch everything happen
on Ampex C1-type junk. 10 years is a *loooong* time ago (they were
just putting in the second VU meter at that time to give us stereo for
the first time!)

(BTW, loved the story of the "will work for food" pic. I'd love to see a copy
  of that if at all possible.)
