having worked with mark back on "Cats Don't Dance" I can say that he is one of the good ones - a pleasure to work with, a great mentor and always ready with a snack. The man was riddled with little Tupperware containers filled with grapes, peanuts, granola - he was a walking vending machine.

Yeah. I've seen him on a documentary on the Chicken Little DVD where he always goes to a screening with a snack. including pretzels. Yum!

Great interview. I'm currently working for him on "Me and my Shadow." He's been great to work for and is such a nice guy.

Great interview, but lacks the usual "Top 5" at the end.

Reason for that.

Mark's secretary came into the conference room when we were already ten minutes over. I shut off the recording doo hickey just before she said he had another appointment.

Mr. D. is, after all, a busy man.
