Ward Kimdall to me is the comic animator of the nine old men, thats my nickname to him and other members of the nine old men had nicknames like Eric Larson was the bird man, Marc Davis was the imagineer and Woolie Reitherman was the action guy

Throughout the part between 5:56 and 6:13, especially at 6:10 Chills by awesomeness just runs down my very spine. Kimball, thank you so much for showing us self-confidence the right way, you're absolutely the man! :D *salutes*

This is like "Walt Disney's: Cribs"

I really like watching videos with Ward Kimball, because he was as much a character as the ones he animated. It's so funny because he looks and acts like a cartoon character in real life

He IS a cartoon! I admire him greatly. Thanks for everything you did, Kimball.

Thanks so much for posting.

I agree Disney should release these as a set, or at least have them as a special feature on each movie, like they did with the shorts.

Like maybe Milt Kahl for Jungle Book, Frank Thomas for Peter Pan, etc.

I was fortunate enough to visit Ward at home back in the early 1990's. His house was filled with all kinds of eccentric art pieces (such as a painting of a watermelon with June bugs glued on as seeds). He had the train barn, depot, fire engine, room with hundreds of model trains and a small storage shed with vintage wind up toys. Wild stuff! He was sharp as a tack too.
