Thank you Ollie! You got me into Animation along with the other 8! ^_^ wish I could've met you before you walked into the sunset yourself, perhaps... another time :D
hey, at least they SORT OF use drawing in cartoons now a days. I mean, look at Nickelodean, they have fairly odd parents and spongebob. And they draw each frame, THEN they scan it in the computer and put color in that way. I want to become an animator like that, or at least a story board artist
@FoxWood2222 but we have new animators here.. even old ones who still have the spirit and visons of the nine old men in them. Just wanna name: Glen Keane!
@dreadss64 hmm yeah but no.. i dont know .. to me, he seems to be a real jerk in every interview. I dont really like him alot. but have to say i dont know none of them in person
@dreadss64 i know i know.. but a person isnt just the stuff he can do.. i really like his animations but his Person.. seems to be not that nice as i hoped - just talking about his appareance on interviews
Truly one of the best in its class. Rest in peace.

Sad to say, this is no longer true. They are all gone now, for Ollie died today, 14 April 2008. The last of the truly great Disney animators.
