Bob Kurtz, Animation Director

Bob Kurtz is the founder of Kurtz & Friends Animation in Burbank, CA. He is a Peabody Award winning director, producer, artist, and designer who primarily works in films and TV commercials. He's worked with everyone from George Carlin to Steven Speilberg and is still going strong. 

I've always wanted to talk to him about his amazing career in animation. My earliest memory of his work was as a kid I remember seeing this animated commercial for Chevron called "Dinosaur". 

You might have seen his educational animation segment "Mr. DNA" from "Jurassic Park".

Or saw this, if you lived in Chicago during the 80's.

Or this one, if you're a George Carlin fan.

 

Bob Kurtz started wearing masks for promotional photos, the artist behind his artwork.
