(Disney Meets Darwin)

14 Acknowledgements

This paper is derived in part from my MIT master's thesis document, Disney Meets Darwin - an Evolution-based Interface for Exploration and Design of Expressive Animated Behavior', and also partially from the paper, "Explorations in the Emergence of Morphology and Locomotion Behavior in Animated Characters", in the Proceedings of the Fourth Workshop on Artificial Life, MIT Press, 1994.

The research was done at the Visible Language Workshop of the Media Lab at MIT, and was supported in part by Paws, Inc., US DOT, and News in the Future Consortium.

Special thanks goes to Ron MacNeil, Suguru Ishizaki, Louie Weitzman, and others of the VLW, and to the memory of Muriel Cooper, founder of the VLW. Thanks also to Joe Marks and Mitch Resnick
