Instead of telling the classic tale with animated human and be various creatures the forest, 1 "The reason is-basic," said Reitherman, pointing to drawings in the studio's animation headquarters.

"Audiences exercise a greater degree of imagination with animals than with human beings. Cartoon is Fundamental "As far as I'm concerned the cartoon is the, most'fundamen- tal of cinema, arts. It. puts together story and appearances; all from imagination. Live actors already come equipped with a voice and their own phsyical attributes.
