That's pretty awesome! My Dad spoke with him somehow when me and my brother were still in highschool, and he had us come in and visit with him at his little studio (it was just a suite at the time) and tell us about animation and he gave us some tips and tricks about animation. He didn't show us any techniques as he did them, but he told us what books to read and, at that time we wanted to do manga, and he told us the difference between Japanese animation and western animation. It was pretty cool. He's an awesome guy.
