EPISODE12 - The Bakshi Boys- Ralph Bakshi's Magic Box Speech

The man, the myth, the legendary Raph Bakshi and his famous "magic box" speech. He talks about going out there and just making animated films yourself. No excuses. Now is the time. No committees, no test groups, no limitations to your imagination. Technology and the viewing capabilities have caught up to the indie animators and now its time to put up or shut up. This is the Ghettomation ethos. In this episode we break down the game film of one of the coolest animation talks ever. The guy is right on the money.
