Around 1975 I recall seeing a two part program titled (approximately) THE TENANTS OF TERMITE FLATS. It was part of a series called Camera 3 which appeared at 11 or 11:30 am on Sunday mornings on ABC. It was a profile of the people who formed the Warner's animation unit. Termite Flat was the rickety building they were happily exiled to on the Warner's lot and generally left alone to do what they loved. What was special about this program was that all the directors were still alive at the time. Sadly Tex Avery died shortly afterwards. He was responsible for the some of the wildest animation ever produced. His trademark was stretching characters completely out of shape, eyes popping out, etc. The last memorable work he did was create the classic RAID! tv commercials.
