## History

### Origins (1966-1971)

To explain the origins to FiddleGriff Animation, we have to go back to December of 1966. When Walt Disney passes away from lung cancer, this took a huge shock on not only the world, but most of Disney's animators since without Walt, they couldn't do anything magical. This lead to Theodore Chrisman and a group of Disney Animators to leave the company in 1968. One day in 1970, during a thanksgiving feast. Therodore Chrisman pitched to his fellow disney friends a new animation studio that would continue the magic that Walt Disney once had. With all this set, FiddleGriff Productions was founded on April 14th, 1971. The Griffin playing the violin logo was designed by Marc Davis. Theordore Chrisman's college roommate and one of his best friends.

### Canary 751 (1983)

this was going to be made during production, but competition with Transformers the Movie and budget took a step back from the original concept!

### Reversal of the Dragon Heart (1988)

originally offered to Disney in April 17th 1988, but was ridiculed by Don Bluth for trying to copy his scene when Littlefoot meets Petrie. to prevent Copyright accusation, he changed it to fit the short that is seen in 2011 with the voices of Jodi Benson as Kyra who would later voice Ariel, Vigo Mortenson as Sorron, Mark Hamill as Eric, Cree Summer as Serrifas, John Hurt as Captain Angus, Walter Conkright as Gorwin, Kenneth Mars as Dreyfus, Angela Lansbury as Elanor, with Peter Cullen as Eric's father, Russi Taylor as Eric's Mother, and Will Ryan as Hopgoblin.

### Reversal of the Heart short (2011)

the final thesis of his Daughter Carolyn Chrisman's graduation year, was a success that helped relaunch the FiddleGriff films from Bankruptcy. The design was altered from the original designs that Theodore had made during his design and plans to make what would be the final results, but when the ending was similar to Land Before Time when it was rejected, his daughter made it simple and easily seen as a silent short.

### FiddleGriff Reemergence (2012-2015)

Today the films arrangements have made plenty of viewers with Carolyn now one of the head animators and Theodore Chrisman remaining C.E.O for nearly 40 years.

### Fiddle Griff during the Pandemic and creation of Star-Dragon (2018-present)
