RICHARD WILLIAMS:
I'd like to thank the writer Charles Dickens, the producer Charles Jones. And one artist in particular, Richard Purdum, who sat up for nine months drawing with me till midnight every night. And Roy Naisbitt, Abe Levitow, Barbara McCormack, Janine Arthy, Sergio Simonetti. And my son Alex, who did the voice of "Tiny Tim." My mother, who helped draw it. God bless them, every one. Thank you.
