    • Trivia
      Doug TenNapel has a collection of over twenty original animation drawings from Disney's Nine Old Men (Les Clark, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Milt Kahl, Ward Kimball, Eric Larson, Wolfgang Reitherman, John Lounsbery and Frank Thomas). He collects the pencil drawings from Sleeping Beauty (1959), Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and Peter Pan (1953) because there is a better chance that Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston or Frank Thomas actually touched it.
    • Quotes
      Making modern games funny would be easy as pie if it was anybody's goal to actually make a funny game.
