[edit] "by himself"

"Plympton is considered the first animator to draw every frame for an animated feature film entirely by himself."

I don't think this is quite right. I attended a talk by Plympton at SVA earlier this year (October, I think), where I heard him say that he maintains a studio. It's generally small (7-8 people), but he hires more people when he's working on a feature (up to 15).

I thought that the first feature film drawn entirely by one person was Drawn From Memory (1995), by Paul Fierlinger... then again, it's not quite the same thing. Perhaps Plympton draws every frame, but doesn't do the colouring, whereas I think Fierlinger did everything by himself on the animation side. Esn 22:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Idiots and Angels

This page says that it's planned for 2007... is there any source for this? Esn 22:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Somebody added a link, but there's no "2007" date in it. How do we know that that's the year that the film will be finished? Esn 23:59, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
