Comments, anyone? It's been a while...
I will be in Annecy from noon tomorrow until Thursday night. If you will be there, too, let me know!
I may not get much posting done, though!

I was curious about Bill Roberts. His last two credits at Disney are "The Three Caballeros"(1945), and "Fun and Fancy Free" 1947.
Do you know if he retired after 1947 , moved on to a different animation studio , or did he die ? I recall that he is mentioned somewhat prominently in The Illusion of Life for his work in the development of character animation in the 1930's , but there is no information on his later work at Disney or when he left Disney .
Jack Kinney writes in his book:
"BILL ROBERTS - A director, animator, and a very good businessman, Bill left Disney to go into real estate and construction, and reportedly became very wealthy."
Bill Roberts died 3/1/1974.
