Dr. Froyd's Funny Farm

Being this is our next to last day here, Jaime wants you all to know what the heck he’s been doing all these years. So here goes:
Jaime Diaz was in the animation business since Walt Disney was alive. When he saw Dumb-Hounded, directed by Tex Avery, in his native Argentina, Jaime wondered where Hollywood was–back then google was not available. So, he made a long trip north and by the strange circumstances of life he landed in front of…Tex Avery! Tex gave him a job on Cascade Films of California in Hollywood. Friz Freling gave him his chance to do his first piece of animation, and Bob McKimson put him in as a layout artist at WB for Daffy Duck and Speedy Gonzales. He went on to work at virtually every animation house in LA. He worked elbow to elbow with Don Bluth at Filmation and on the breaks they played frisbee. Jaime worked also with Chuck Jones, where he met Larry Huber, on a show called Curiosity Shop, with characters done by Mel Lazarus, Johnny Hart, and Sergio Aragones of Mad Magazine. Jaime has won numerous awards, including the only gold Clio for Latin America. He also won the Lapiz de Oro (golden pencil) for outstanding commercials, and the Leone D’Argento in Italy.
He was nominated for an Annie award for directing the ChalkZone pilot. He plans to get together with Bill Burnett to win many awards for Dr. Froyd’s Funny Farm.
He thinks almost every character in Hollywood passed through his animation desk at one time or another…and maybe it’s true! His great dream is to create an icon for the Hollywood that he owes so much to. Does that make sense? Yes!
Yay Jaime!!! (Bill’s Partner)
