One of the men, Eric Larson, had worked on Pinocchio and became Buck's mentor. "It was terrifying, and on the other part it was exhilarating because I was so excited to be in the same room as this man," he said of meeting the revered animator. "I guess I not only got Walt Disney's philosophy of entertainment from Eric, but also just what a wonderful spirit he was and as a mentor I think that's influenced me now as a mentor myself." Buck has worked as director on the animated films Tarzan and Surf's Up and as an animator and designer on The Fox and the Hound, Pocahontas and The Little Mermaid. In Australia to share wisdom from his 40-year career, Buck spoke to students at Newcastle University about the ups and downs of the creative process. "Certainly [in] my first directing gig, there were a lot of things I did wrong. And one of the main things was that I didn't say no to anyone. I took everyone's ideas in and it just became this big, mushy thing," he said. Challenge has never been an obstacle to Buck, who through a combination of hard work, collaboration and following his gut instinct has achieved incredible success. It is a winning combination that animation fans hope will be repeated in 2018, when Frozen 2 is set to hit cinemas. 这篇采访声称冰雪2是2018年圣诞上映 自打脸
