My Take
Chuck McCann earns my genuine admiration. A Brooklyn kid who turned a seventy-year career into comedy, acting, puppetry, directing, and beloved children's television is the kind of artist the industry quietly runs on. The work of introducing animation to a generation looks modest but lodges deep in collective memory, and that is rare. The 1964 amateur cartoonist award betrays a lifelong playfulness I find endearing. He passed in 2018, but performers who made people laugh and shaped childhoods leave a legacy that outlives them. I tip my hat to a true craftsman.
