Everyone criticized the quality of bakshi's films, but he succeeded in doing what a lot of independent filmmakers starting out are bad at. FINISHING STUFF. Sure, he wasn't able to finish last days of coney island, but he was able to make a large number of independent animated films throughout his Carrier, regardless of quality. Dont spend thirty years making a high quality animated film with the risk of it being a failure as a finished product. A living dog is better than a dead lion.

Everything he just said is common sense, but people that needed explained to them, have no business working in comics, animations or film making. Everybody can make a movie, short or long and put it here on youtube. If you're decent, then people will see it. Youtube is such a waste when it comes to Shane dawson and make up tutorials. Come on people, do something with this shit!!

I don't agree with his attacks on Disney, he wouldn't of even got started if it wasn't for the Disney legacy.

Good chutzpah / trailblazing though.
