Sally Cruikshank interview 1980

I found this tv interview with me down in the basement. (How fitting). It was on 3/4" tape, rapidly disintegrating. I transferred it to DVD and got it finally to a decent format to upload to my new favorite place, youtube. It answers some questions people often ask me.

I'm a young artist who draws silly yet wonderful things like you, so inspiring to see your work! I love it!

@kindolwood Keep drawing silly wonderful things!

Hi! I really love your animations and your characters. I noticed your reference sheets in the interview and I was wondering if you had them scanned/uploaded anywhere. I'd love to look at them!

[laughingsal]

@Madamluna Thanks- I'm sure they are somewhere around here but no idea where. Sorry.

cpnscarlet, no I never did anything with the Firesign Theater.

Hey, iwritemynamehere, I appreciate all comments but don't take them too seriously, but I do think you're right saying I was before my time.

And MisterEsoteric I've never understood why Good Vs. Evil is a good plot to follow! Geez!

Thanks all for nice comments. I don't know what Super jail is but I'm glad I'm not in Super jail.

Oh my gosh! I haven't seen any of these cartoons since the seventies. It's wonderful you're uploading your work to YouTube so a wider audience can see your wonderful terrific stuff. Your cartoons are like the successors to the Fleischer Studios on acid.

This was such a treat! You have such a great philosophy on cartooning. (: You're making me really consider getting into cartooning and animation again, but I feel like it's probably a pretty hard business to make money in. x)

I also enjoy the fact that everybody seems to think you've done a ton of drugs, and from the replies you really seem like you haven't. That makes me really happy! Makes me wanna go use my imagination all over the place. xD

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen. Ma'am, you should be a LEGEND. Animators these days need to sit back and listen to your words... cartoons would be a MUCH cooler place these days if they did. I like your whole "don't stick to the norms" vibe. When the world really is your canvas, I think you should do whatever you want. It doesn't have to make sense, it has to make magic.

@Marbles471 I know. The only legitimate traction that the Ducks ever got was 'DuckTales'. These days, I'm angry at Disney for turning it's back on quality animation, and entertainment in favor of worthless tween junk that nobody over the age of 16 with A Y chromosomes would ever enjoy! I'm sick, and tired of them shoving Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, and Selena Gomez down our throats, and they don't seem to care about the damage that Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan have wreaked on society!

@Launchpad05

You know Pat Block? Cool.

Haven't people like him basically been forced to work mainly for European publishers, since the Duck stuff just can't get any consistent tracton in America these days?

OMG IT'S FRED'S MOTHER!!!!

Went looking for you on YT after watching my copy of QATQ (from CN's 100 Greatest Cartoons). Nice interview...got some insight into your art. Ever do anything with the Firesign Theater??? Some of their routines would be great fodder for your style of animation.
