The presentation was excellent and all of the questions were very professional and not a waste of everyone's time! Mrs. Waldo is one of the sweetest women I have ever met, and Mr. Burton has such an amazing knack for voice acting. He's also a super-nice guy! Apparently, he has turned down every offer to work with Seth McFarlane because he finds his work to be too mean to be humorous. He also claims to never forgive the director of Talespin for not hiring Phil Harris to do Baloo's voice.

It was incredibly interesting to hear Mrs. Waldo's anecdotes about her days as a voice actor for many of Hanna-Barbera's cartoons in the '60s. I am always fascinated by tales from mid-20th century Hollywood. One anecdote she told us involved her rushing to the recording studio, getting pulled over by a cop, having the cop escort her to the studio, recording with the cop in front of the audience, and getting complimented by said cop followed by "Oh, and here's your ticket for speeding."

Both Mr. Burton and Mrs. Waldo lament the rise of A-list actors as leading roles in animated films because they feel they don't play up the entire "character" aspect of animation.

It was also really great to hear about how both went about recording their voices for Battle of the Planets (Mrs. Waldo) and various other Anime stuff (Mr. Burton).

Mr. Burton also did the voice for the Machete and Grindhouse trailers; my hero! I couldn't gather the courage to ask him to say "THEY FUCKED WITH THE WRONG MEXICAN" after the presentation ended, though.
