Ollie Johnston 1912-2008


While this blog is about background art, on rare occasion I'll break from the established theme and format.

Today is one of those days, honoring the life and art of Ollie Johnston.

One of Disney's original "nine old men," this gentle man's herculean talent created some of animation's greatest characters and performances, as well as deeply impacting pop culture.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ollie at the El Capitan during one of our special events. He spoke onstage about creating emotion in animation. He was a kind, sweet man. He was gracious eenough to pose with me by the stage door. Meeting him remains one of the highlights of my life.

His art will be cherished forever.

Rest in Peace, Ollie.

    I suppose that someone had to post them somewhere.

    Thank you (and sorry for my english).

  2. "Faith is a blue bird,
    we see from far.
    It's for real and as sure
    as the first evening star,
    you can't touch it or buy it
    or wrap it up tight
    but it's there just the same,
    making things turn out right." [Rufus-"The Rescuers" (1977)]

    Thanks Ollie for what you gave to the child in all of us.

    Andrea Giglio.
