How wonderful

Thursday, August 25, 2005
“...while flying back from Europe...we were over northern Iceland and Greenland.  Flight is conducive to fantasy.  I saw those great, white, unblemished fields.  Huge snow fields ten miles wide and ten miles high.  And the animator came out in me and got greedy.  I thought, if I could only take a giant pencil, a burnt tree or something, and draw on that great cold piece of paper… how wonderful, how wonderful.”

Sounds like an opportunity for some truly huge Earth Art.

Who knew such poeticness was going on in Chuck’s brain? After splatting Wile E. so many times on screen, I’m impressed that he thought such peaceful thoughts when presented with a perfect landing spot for a catapulted toon. I can see the puff of snow now…
