"When I was assigned to sketch on Fantasia I was even more discouraged when I joined fourteen other sketch men to create a pictorial version of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony. While the record player fill the rooms with Beethoven we filled the boards with flying horses, centaurs, centaurettes, fauns, and cherubs, flying, galloping, and dancing all over the Olympian landscape. The storymen were at a loss to tell us what to do, so we were responsible for what finally came out on the screen."
