Eric Schwartz was a legend in the days of the Amiga. The Amiga was well ahead of its time for graphics and animation. Eric Schwartz was the best known and most creative of the animators of the time.

Until recently the only way to watch the animations was to run them on Amiga hardware or an emulated system. There is now a collection of animations, including most, if not all of those by Eric Schwartz.

The animation techniques and comical elements to the story lines will be an inspiration to animators starting out today.
