Saddened by the passing of director Roger Allers, who will certainly be remembered by THE LION KING. But I also love his ambitious omnibus project KAHLIL GIBRAN’S THE PROPHET, where he brought together animators from around the world including Tomm Moore and Bill Plympton.

上周仍通郵件分享旅途
博瑟特透露,上周艾勒斯在埃及旅遊期間,兩人仍保持郵件聯繫,如今傳來噩耗感到「一切顯得不真實」。他追憶與艾勒斯合作奧斯卡提名短片《賣火柴的小女孩》的時光,讚揚其好奇心、慷慨與熱情感染身邊每個人,並感傷表示:「羅傑有一個明亮且溫暖的靈魂,沒有他的世界會黯淡許多。」
