[[File:animate_rw_1684.jpg|frame]]
 
A prominent artist and animator who got his start training under veterans from [[The Golden Age of Animation]] such as [[DisneysDisney's Nine Old Men]], as well as Warner Bros. animator [[Noteworthy Looney Tunes Staff|Ken Harris]] and industry drifter [[Grim Natwick]]. Totally crazy about silky smooth, seamless animation.
 
He has done work several projects, most famously ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'', the Raggedy Ann and Andy film, and his tragic attempt to make "[[What Could Have Been|the greatest animated film]]" called ''[[The Thief and the Cobbler]]''.
Line 8:
These days, Richard is now semi-retired, at least from the industry side of animation, although he still takes up personal animation projects and teaches animation via his acclaimed masterclasses.
 
He has also published an acclaimed book on animation, "''[[The Animator's Survival Kit|The Animator]]''s Survival Kit.]]" A 16 DVD set version of it also exists, but [[Crack is Cheaper|costs over $1,000.]] It also exists as a live class.
 
No relation to [[Robin Williams]], by the way.

=== Tropes Related To Him ===
 
* [[Artistic Title]]: Williams did these for several films, including ''[[A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum]]'', the 1974 ''[[Murder on the Orient Express]]'', and two ''[[Pink Panther]]'' films.
* [[Berserk Button]]: The guy is such a perfectionist that if he caught so much as a ''speck of dust'' photographed along with a cel, he would ''chew out the cameraman'' for allowing it to happen.
