End of an Era

Advertisements

Ollie Johnston, the last of the “Nine Old Men”, has passed away. I’ll always count as one of the best days of my life when he and Frank Thomas came up to give us a talk about animation. One doesn’t meet genuine pioneers every day (although I’m privileged to work for one).

They will be missed, and fondly remembered.

Update:

Brad Bird’s tribute to Ollie Johnston is here.
