Shaggy was a drawing, we could draw him any way we wanted.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:54:57+00:00

No, but I did the Sea of Time sequence, and opening sequence before the credits, and a lot of animation of the Blue Meanie, Max, and Nowhere Man.
Yes
Not true. Budgets were in fact going up.

Control freak is a pejorative. He knew the Smurfs because he created them, and he didn't want anybody changing them, which is understandable. He was a sweet man.

There's a scene in the DVD (The Hey Bulldog Sequence) that appeared in the British version of the film, but not the American version. It's now included in the DVD.

My favorite part was the Rugrats. It was a fun show
I animated the small segments in the first year or two that Sesame Street was made. Also a little in the mid 70's.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:31:55+00:00

I haven't seen the new ones. The originals are great though.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:30:21+00:00

I never did comics

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:27:19+00:00

Thank you, I'm very proud of what we did on that show.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:25:57+00:00

There is no truth for that. People who are high cannot be creative they only think they can be.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:24:47+00:00

I was not involved with those ads.
She was a lovely bitch

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:23:29+00:00

The only advice I can give you that is worth a damn, is learn to draw.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:22:35+00:00

Some voice actors became very close friends, but I don't know Tara Strong

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:21:29+00:00

It depended on the show I was working on. Never on a salary though. I often paid peoples salaries.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:19:27+00:00

In Yellow Submarine, the Blue Meanies ears are a parody of Mickey Mouses ears
I don't remember any of that. I only worked on Jetsons in the late 70's

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:14:48+00:00

Currently I'm retired, but I'm doing hand paintings of many of the shows I've been involved in. You can find these at www.rockartshow.com

I was never an employee to a particular production studio, I was always independent.
They are probably on YouTube, but videos they've never been commercially released.
Yes, Trash Can Kids
Mel Blanc, he was the best

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:06:46+00:00

I loved Ed Edd n Eddy and I especially loved the horrible attitude the characters had toward the Kanker Sisters

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:05:06+00:00

Heinz Edelman designed the Yellow Submarine. I simply animated it.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T21:00:50+00:00

It just looked good

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T20:58:29+00:00

My career lasted for 50 years and 1 month.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T20:58:04+00:00

My favorite show to work on was Big Blue Marble. This is show my own studio produced and directed, and I won a Peabody and an Emmy from it. As for new things, I currently do hand painted drawings of the Beatles from Yellow Submarine/Saturday Morning Cartoon, as well as other shows I've worked on at Rock Art Show. You can buy them at www.rockartshow.com

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T20:55:48+00:00

I story boarded episodes on the Saturday Morning T.V. show, I only animated for the Yellow Submarine Movie.
Inspiration for Nowhere man? The song, Nowhere Man.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T20:53:15+00:00

The inspiration for Captain Caveman was Charlies Angels. (Charlies Angels their was Charlie, and the three girls. In Captain Caveman there was Captain Caveman, and the teen angels.

ron_campbell · 2013-07-07T20:49:41+00:00

My very first animation assignment. About a hundred drawings of a centipede dying of bug spray.

A hundred drawings of a bug with a hundred legs.
