All his life, Bill Plympton has been fascinated by animation. When he was fourteen, he sent Disney some of his cartoons and offered up his services as animator. They wrote back and told him that while his drawings showed promise, he was too young. It wasn't until 1983 that he was approached to animate a film. The Android Sister Valeria Wasilewski asked Plympton to direct and animate a film she was producing of Jules Feiffer's song, "Boomtown." Connie D'Antuono, another of the film's producers, "sort of held my hand through the whole process," Plympton says. "It was a great way to learn to make a film. His new feature film, IDIOTS AND ANGELS, will be released sometime in 2008. Featuring the music of Tom Waits, Moby and Pink Martini, it's a much    darker    and    more    mysterious    film    than    his    previous    comedies.
