According to Hollywood Reporter, Walt Disney Studios says legendary animator Ollie Johnston has died at age 95.
Johnston was the last of Walt Disney’s so-called Nine Old Men.
He contributed animation and direction to classics such as “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Pinocchio,” “Fantasia,” “Song of the South,” “Cinderella,” and “Alice in Wonderland.”
He also worked on “Peter Pan,” “Lady and the Tramp,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Sword in the Stone,” “Mary Poppins,” “The Jungle Book,” “Robin Hood,” “The Rescuers,” and “The Fox and the Hound.”
I was going to list my favorites but it turns out that all these classics are my favorites - what talent-pure art in animation. I believe Ollie is the last one on the right in the above picture of the Nine Old Men.
