These guys were all brilliant minds, but of course there were MANY other brilliant artists who were involved in making this classic films. I hope some day they do a well done documentary on these filmmakers...
These were the men behind the magic that entranced generations of children. In a way, these men live on in the hearts of every person who ever fell in love with a Disney film.
These men really saved the Disney Studio after World War II, and also Woolie Reitherman saved Disney animation after the death of Disney when he began focusing on directing.
Olli Johnston one of the greatest old mens lived until april 2008 He knows how the "new" Disney and the 3D disney looks like. And I think he dont want change anything. Its no big difference to animate 2D or 3D im studying Animation and i've learned first the 12 principes and 2D animation.
But the were sooooo good animators and ARtists .. untouchable
I know it's sad that they both died! Frank and Ollie both made cameos in Brad Bird's two animated films The Iron Giant and The Incredibles. As a matter of fact Frank Thomas died the night he completed his cameo for The Incredibles which was the night of September 8 2004 and Ollie Johnston died on April 14 2008! Ollie was the last surviving Nine Old Men! They were true legends who'll never be forgotten! R.I.P. Frank and Ollie. MY HEROES!
Walt Disney en The Nine Old Man zijn een legende voor de kunst van de tekenfilm! Jaren lang hebben ze stuk voor stuk kunst werken gemaakt. Van Sneeuwwitje & De Zeven Dwergen tot an de Reddertjes zijn werkelijk stuk voor stuk meesterwerken! Het was dan ook een hele grote schok toen in april Olie Johnsten overleed. Lieve Walt en Nine Old Man leef voor eeuwig en altijd in de vrede!

I can't believe that there were only nine people involved in making my childhood a much happier one...

Frank Thomas in his younger days during the time of Bambi kinda resembled Stephen Colbert from the Colbert Report.
