Event: Ralph Bakshi Panel At The San Diego ComicCon

The ASIFA-Hollywood Animation Archive Presents:
Artists Only: A Chat With Ralph Bakshi

Ralph Bakshi is responsible for some of the most wildly original animated features ever made- including "Heavy Traffic", "Fritz the Cat" and "Wizards". Working in a largely collaborative medium hide-bound by the legacy of Walt Disney, Bakshi was able to rip the lid off of the moribund medium and create films with remarkable honesty and a startlingly unique point of view.

The legendary cartoonist Ralph Bakshi will be on hand to be interviewed by ASIFA-Hollywood Archive Director Stephen Worth on his life and career. He will be offering advice to aspiring cartoonists and reflecting on what it means to be an artist in today's world. Whether you're lucky enough to make a living doodling or whether you still dream of being paid to create, you won't want to miss this important presentation.

Saturday, July 26th 4:30 to 5:30
San Diego Comic-Con Room 10
