Meanwhile, work on "The Sword in the Stone" were solely done by veteran story artist Bill Peet. After Disney had seen the 1960 Broadway production of "Camelot", he approved the project to enter production. Ollie Johnston stated, " got furious with Bill for not pushing "Chanticleer" after all the work he had put in on it. He said, 'I can draw a damn fine rooster, you know.' Bill said, 'So can I.'" Peet recalled "how humiliated they were to accept defeat and give in to "The Sword in the Stone"...He allowed to have their own way, and they let him down. They never understood that I wasn't trying to compete with them, just trying to do what I wanted to work. I was the midst of all this competition, and with Walt to please, too."
