What’s on Joe Mind Special Edition #53 – Interview with Larry Houston

Anyone who has watched an animated series from the 80s and 90s has likely watched something Larry Houston had a hand in.  An exceedingly prolific storyboard artist, director, and all around animation legend, Houston was directly involved in much of the Sunbow product, and most famously was the storyboard director for quite possibly the greatest three minutes in animated G.I. Joe history, the opening to 1987’s G.I. Joe: The Movie.

Mike and I sat down and talked all about his work on G.I. Joe as well as other landmark animated series of the time and he was a fantastic interview.
