I remember the rise of the Raisins and clay stop motion, and always enjoyed it. I had no idea there was a dramatic backstory and this sad arc that played out--first with an early partner and then a later one.
But it does seem like there was a nice peak in the middle where artists did great work and they really changed the face of animation--before computers were able to replace that kind of technique.
It leaves me with mixed feelings about the outcomes. But art was made, impact was had, and all-in-all I suppose it was a good span. I wish Vinton had a better outcome financially... But a fine life.
