Cortlandt Hull meets Jim Danforth
My good friend Johnny Holmes asked me: Did Rankin/Bass Productions have anything to do with the Here's Lucy opening? I told him, I recently learned from my pal Cortlandt Hull, that Jim Danforth was the animator of that opening. In fact, Cortlandt was there for the filming! Here is what Cortlandt had to say: I met the amazing animator JIM DANFORTH through Forry Ackerman, when I was about 14. At the time I visited him, at the studio, he was working on the opening sequence for "Here's Lucy". But he was also doing animation on a "Swiss Miss" TV commercial and the "Pillsbury Doughboy", which you can see some of the models in my other photo. Jim is probably best known for his work on "When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth", as well as working with George Pal & Ray Harryhausen, and on many other films. He is a multi-talented artist, very kind gentleman, it was such a pleasure to meet him, and see the projects he was working on.
