The Last of the Nine Old Men goes… Ollie Johnston is no longer with us…
April 15, 2008
Hey folks, Harry here… Pretty much, my entire life… I’ve known the name of Ollie Johnston. One of the most beloved animators of all time - he is credited to giving Disney’s characters a lot of the warmth we love about them. Before Ollie - Disney characters rarely touched unless they were slapping each other or kicking one another in the ass. Ollie brought the more human relationship to bare focusing on the warm connections that we humans have… the act of holding hands, putting an arm around one another. - Harry Knowles via AICN
