Co-wrote with Anthony "Norman Bates" Perkins one of my favorite films of the 1970s, The Last of Sheila: It's the only screenplay either man wrote (Sondheim also had some TV writing credits before and after this).

I thought that film came out in 1959, one year before The Lost World did in 1960.

Yeah, you're right. I'd forgotten the release year and now I can't go back and edit the post. Oops.

Derrick J Wyatt has passed away. This one really breaks my heart. He was a driving force behind Transformers Animated, Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated, Ben 10: Omniverse and was character designer on Teen Titans. He was also a super nice guy.

That was an absolute shock to me as well. And so young, too. I hate that I never got the chance to meet him. RIP to one of the people responsible for one of my favorite cartoons of all time.
