The tradition, as we see it, reflects the desires and aspirations of Walt, who strove to bring animation to a highly developed art. In attempting to recapture the quality attained in former years we need but to refer to the memo Walt wrote to Don Graham in 1935. It expresses the needs of the animation artist and the means he felt were necessary to develop and fulfill those needs.
