History: Answered an ad while a student at Cal State-Long Beach, which was looking for employees. That ad was for George Lucas whom Johnston became acquainted with. He was employed a storyboard artist who would watch Lucas do his editing. Eventually, Johnston decided to leave Lucas' company and travel with the money he had saved up. But Lucas suggested that he go to USC film school (his alma mater), which Lucas would get him to the front of the line for applicants, pay for his tuition, and keep Johnston as a part time employee with his salary. Johnston said he would have been crazy not to accept the offer and immediately said yes. (found on IMDB.com)

How cool is that to have everything handed to you just by lucking out and answering an ad. Crazy! Jumanji was a creepy movie. I remember being totally freaked out when I was little. For your first post you did a good job. You seem to know your stuff and seem very enthused about your writing. Keep up the good work ;)
