Memories

My father, Ah Man, passed away last month. He was the artist who did the opening title to the film and is credited as one of the artists. He worked with Geoff Dunbar at Grand Slamm Animation and met Paul McCartney during the making of the film.

My dad was given one of the animation cells from the film; it is of Rupert waving goodbye to Bill Badger and Edward Trunk at the beginning of the film.

My dad also worked on many television commercials in the 1980s and 1990s, for Grand Slamm and other animation studios including Oscar Grillo. He worked very hard and worked my late nights, which I will never forget. Our family miss he dearly and I wish he was still around to pass on his talent and knowledge to my daughters.
