I just discovered your article about my father, Roy Morita, yesterday! Thank you so much for your kind and positive article about him! He has been gone since 1984 and it is so touching that he is still remembered for his animation work. He was not only very talented but hardworking as he was always picking up freelance projects in addition to his main day job. I remember that most evenings he could be found in his home studio working or quietly sitting in our atrium with a clipboard in hand, sketching. I remember walking by him in his studio as he would be working away on the most detailed drawing for an animation project and it was always amazing. Thank you for your detailed article about his role at Jay Ward Productions and career. I really appreciate it!
Susan, thank you for this wonderful comment -- what a gift to log on to see. We're so glad you enjoyed the piece! Your father was an enormous talent and we're happy to help point some more attention toward his work. You've just made our day!
Holy moly! It's stories like Roy Morita's that have me so excited to support a magazine like this. Just wow. Incredible share. Thank you so much for putting this out there. I work at a studio and I see this all the time. A quiet genius who is responsible for all the design, and gets no recognition. Not that recognition is what it's about, but someone like Roy!??!?! Dang!!!! Also, thanks for the tip on the Academy museum featuring Isao, will def be going to see that.
