Who produced the animated cartoon inspired by the artist who worked on Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, ET, and Cocoon?
Ralph McQuarrie Ralph Angus McQuarrie (June 13, 1929 – March 3, 2012) was an American conceptual designer and illustrator. His career included work on the original "Star Wars" trilogy, the original "Battlestar Galactica" television series, the film "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial", and the film "Cocoon", for which he won an Academy Award.
John Halas John Halas (born János Halász; 16 April 1912 – 21 January 1995) was a pioneering Hungarian animator. Together with Gyula Macskássy (an acquaintance from Sándor Bortnyik's Bauhaus art studio, Műhely), and Félix Kassowitz, Halász co-founded Hungary's first animation studio, Coloriton, in 1932. Coloriton existed for 4 years, producing high-quality promotion-oriented animations for television and cinema including "Boldog király kincse" ("The Treasure of the Joyful King"). Halász learned his craft under George Pal, but launched his own career in 1934, and two years later moved to England where later, with his wife Joy Batchelor, founded Halas and Batchelor in 1940.
