TaleSpin Source news
Quick interview from Larry Latham

Larry Latham was one of the few directors behind TaleSpin (he directed 14 episodes). And guess what, when asked about his favorite project he worked on, he says TaleSpin!

 

What is your name and your current occupation?

My name is Larry Latham; currently I teach Maya and Flash at Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology. It’s a two year program, with a lean toward visual communications, so though we learn both software packages, the emphasis is less on character animation and more on motion graphics. The good news is that when a student really wants to learn character animation, we have a flexible policy that allows me to vary the lessons. Plus, we’re working on getting a four-year degree program, which would allow more time to focus on the finer details.

What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?
Whew! That’s a big one. I managed a Taco Bell restaurant, inventoried nuts and bolts (one at a time, not [er box or case) for Lockheed, delivered liquor to retail stores and sold cars.
What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
Talespin is at the top of the heap. I produced and directed 14 episodes and did post-production on about half the series. Right after that would be the two American Tale direct to video movies I produced and directed at Universal.

We need to get Larry Latham interested in our cause, our goal to bring back TaleSpin, he might be a big help in that. I hope Steet knows how to contact him.

Wow. Great find, Steet! Good to know that the TaleSpin crew are still very proud of their work, even 20 years later!
