I had no idea he's an animator, that's so cool! In that video he says "Lightwave is so deep, I won't live long enough to see everything that's in it". I'm glad he's proven wrong there!
THE Dick van Dyke, from Mary Poppins, Diagnosis: Murder, ans so many more?! I always thought it was just a coincidental same name as I never saw videos about this. Oh my! This guy is amazing
Wow I had no idea, what a cool guy! Loved Mary Poppins as a kid, his British accent though… xD
A nice tribute at https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/dec/13/dick-van-dyke-c...

Such a likeable person.
Such a legend! I bet he still has his Amiga somewhere in his Hollywood hills mansion.
Seemingly a universally liked man. So much so, that dolphins rescued him when he fell asleep on his surfboard aged 84.
