WALTER LANTZ:
I'd like to thank the Board of Governors of the Academy for this great honor. I really appreciate the Oscar, not only for my contribution to the art of animation, but also as a tribute to the entire cartoon industry and to Universal Pictures with whom I've been associated for fifty years. Thank you.
