All about the "Peanuts" animator, his collaboration with Charles Schulz, the modernist flavor of his work, and his influence on the films of Wes Anderson ("Rushmore").

Bill Melendez also directed the 'Cathy' movie. You should do a breakdown of that for your next video watch?v=8w_wZ0YyxLI

What an awesome documentary! I must confess I had never noticed all the details in the animation, backgrounds, colors, and style used by Melendez in his work. As a kid growing up in Mexico, watching classic cartoons, I became quite familiar with the names of some of the greatest animation artists of all time: Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Robert McKimson, Tex Avery, Joseph Barbera and William Hanna. I truly believe Bill Melendez deserves a place among them. Thanks for posting!

Actually, yes, he was. Bill Melendez was a very manly man.

Was Bill Melendez really the auteur this documentary makes him out to be, or were the Charlie Brown specials a result of the combined talents of him, Schulz (who wrote the specials), and the other producers? A lot of the cinematic tricks cited in this documentary probably came from Schulz' script (cutting from the skating to Linus and Charlie Brown, for example), and the rest just sound like standard tropes of limited animation. Even the backgrounds would have been painted by someone else!

It could be that little or nothing in the specials was Melendez' doing. But one could say the same of any director, and ultimately, the director is the interpreter and boss -- particularly in animation. That which he doesn't create, he approves. Even small touches like the cut you cite are a director's decision -- and the script (which I've read) gives no instructions as to timing, framing, shot length or anything else. And the design is absolutely Melendez's. He was an artist above all else.
