A Herb Alpert Double Feature, with Doonesbury, Disney, Mr. Magoo and the Harlem Globetrotters

The 1966 animated short "A Herb Alpert Double Feature" won the Oscar that year for Best Animated Short. The tunes ("Spanish Flea" and "Tijuana Taxi") should be familiar to most people, as should the animation style, which was so prevalent in the 1960s and early 1970s.
Unfortunately, the plotting in this film does not really hold up today.
Faaaaaar more interesting is the story of the filmmakers themselves: John and Faith Hubley.
He started out working as an animator at Disney in the 1930s, leaving during the 1941 strike.  His work appears in "Dumbo," "Pinocchio," "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," "Bambi" and "Fantasia." And "Gigli" (jk).
Later, he co-created Mr. Magoo, got blacklisted for refusing to name names in the Communist witch hunts, created the Maypo cereal mascot and started work on the huge U.K. hit feature "Watership Down," which he left unfinished when he died in 1977 (producer Martin Rosen stepped in to finish the movie).
Hubley also frequently worked with his wife, Faith (nee Chestman); they collaborated on the Herb Alpert piece, and on "Moonbird" and "The Hole" (which won short subject Oscars in 1959 and 1962, respectively).
The couple's last major collaboration was "A Doonesbury Special" for NBC in 1976 -- a show that has since been preserved by the Academy Film Archive.
Faith began her career at Columbia Pictures, serving as script supervisor for "12 Angry Men," as well as editing a movie starring the Harlem Globetrotters! No Oscar for that one...
Oh, and she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1975 and managed to live with the disease until 2001!  Maybe someone should do a LONG subject on these two.
