This book tells the fascinating story of the life and times of the man who created the look of Scooby-Doo and Muttley from Wacky Races. Iwao Takamoto (1925-2007) spent a lifetime in the animation industry and played a pivotal role in the creation of some of the medium's best-loved and most recognizable characters, including Scooby-Doo, Penelope Pitstop and Muttley from Wacky Races, and the Great Gazoo from "The Flintstones". "Iwao Takamoto: My Life with a Thousand Characters" is an intimate and revealing portrait of the life of a legendary animator, as told in his own words, from his experiences of growing up in the heart of Los Angeles, and his wartime ordeal in an internment camp for Japanese-Americans, to his years working at Walt Disney Studios, where he worked with the famous 'Nine Old Men,' and later for Hanna-Barbera where he was a key artistic force. Packed with stories and anecdotes of working for two of Hollywood's most notable animation studios, and filled with photos and artwork, this is an essential volume for all fans of animation and popular culture.
