when frans was in high school in the 1970’s, he went to see the legendary warner bros. cartoon director Chuck Jones speak. frans wanted to show mr. jones some animation he did.
mr. jones gave frans his business card and suggested frans send his super 8 mm film to him. frans did, and 2 weeks later mr. jones called frans and told him he liked his animation, urging him to apply at CalArts in southern california.
frans followed mr. jones’s advice. he was accepted at calarts, which led to frans being hired by the Disney studio!
meow.
