It always appears to be that every time I see Cliff Nordberg's animation - its usually entertaining, wild and similar to what Ward Kimball would have done. Didn't Cliff Nordberg work in a Kimball style? I'm asking because, he worked closely with Kimball on Dum and Dee or the Mad Hatter and the March Hare in Alice in Wonderland and he did a big chunk of work on the film. He also worked under Kimball in Pecos Bill.

He animated the characters, Jasper and Horace in 101 Dalmatians under John Lounsbery.

He seems to have been a good animator who has been overlooked.

You can always count on a nice livley performance from Cliff Nordberg! Just about everything here is so hyperactive. It's wonderful, and very worthy and characteristic of him. I'm surprised someone else didn't get some of the early scenes, though.
