    Oswald the lucky rabbit

    I think Oswald shows how creators need to be careful with the deals they make. The last thing that any one wants is to lose their creation.

    John Whitney the father of CGI

    I feel like he is a bit different then most of the other people I have covered. Still really interesting. Not many people can claim they changed a machine of war to one of art.
