[…] John [Culhane] has conducted taped interviews with Disney artists that no one else ever interviewed on tape: John Lounsbery and Bill Tytla among others. When [Didier Ghez] mentioned this to John, though, he objected about Tytla. "There is another taped interview that exists. I saw someone interview Tytla in Montreal in 1967. The person who interviewed him - I can't remember her name - was the daughter of a famous French director." [Didier] could not let this go by. A few weeks after that meeting [he] realized that the person who had conducted the interview was Louise Beaudet, who passed away in 1997 after having directed for many years the Cinémathèque Québecoise. [He] then contacted the Cinémathèque Québecoise and true enough, they had an unreleased interview with Tytla on tape.
[Dider has] now secured a digital copy, thanks to the help of David Lesjak, Michael Barrier, Mark Sonntag and Don Peri. There are no surprises in the interview. […]. However, [Dider] thought some of you might like to hear Bill's voice for the first time. [... Dider] chose an excerpt where Tytla discusses his animating Jose Carioca.
