It could be that as head animator, Tyer had carte blanche to do his own animation under Izzy, but not when he was working under Johnson (Tyer's work at Famous was always more restrained, even as head animator, when he had to get final approval past Se4ymour Kneitel).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715125534803085997.post-84147266678178024032011-02-23T11:03:03.500-08:002011-02-23T11:03:03.500-08:00It seems like he was gradually nudged out of Famou...It seems like he was gradually nudged out of Famous by animators returning from military service.Bob Jaqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08227103731900437087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715125534803085997.post-73322601124609154892011-02-23T10:44:25.814-08:002011-02-23T10:44:25.814-08:00So it was him!

I'm starting to think that Tyer was demoted from the animation director to an animator during his last days at Famous (since he animated on at least 2 Tom Johnson-directed shorts).The Crazy HRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176439759514388577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715125534803085997.post-86516736260869129232011-02-23T08:52:29.217-08:002011-02-23T08:52:29.217-08:00Oh yeah, definitely looks like Tyer was trying to ...Oh yeah, definitely looks like Tyer was trying to cut loose but being reined in.Kevin Langleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623675845502307848noreply@blogger.com
