ROCK ODYSSEY ANIMATION LAYOUT
Originally produced in 1981-1982, and intended as a prime-time TV special for ABC. The project was shelved after negative reaction by H-B and Taft executives to the film's graphic imagery, particularly relating to the 1960s and the Vietnam War. The film was retooled in the mid-80s, with a new sequence featuring classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon clips set to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." To date, the film has only had one public screening in the United States, at the 2nd Los Angeles International Animation Celebration in July 1987.

Grim Natwick's Post UPA Commercials
Grim Natwick was a remarkable man. It's mind-blowing to realize that the same man who animated Mariutch and Swing, You Sinners in 1930 animated Sonny the Coo Coo Bird three decades later! These drawings are from Grim's estate, and they cover his years in New York in the late 1950s and early 60s. These sketches are the work of Tissa David working from Grim's rough poses. If you know anything about these spots, please post it in the comments section below.
This post was grabbed from the Internet Archive WAY BACK MACHINE- from The Animation Arachive website.
