“They were pioneers...and their influence is enormous...they helped create something very rare in any art-a new way of seeing.”-John Sayles

On marrying in 1955, John and Faith Hubley vowed to make a film a year; they went on to make over twenty animated films together before John's death in 1977. John trained at Disney and worked for UPA, where he created Mr. Magoo. But in their socially committed independent animations, the Hubleys' experimental aesthetic was distinctly modern, and included paper cutouts, wax resistance, and oil painting, as well as collaborations with musicians from Benny Carter to Dizzy Gillespie. Their inspiration came from their children's play, improvisation, and issues of their times, including overpopulation and the arms race.
