Ward Kimball: Of the more many artists who worked for Walt Disney over the years, he only ever referred to one as a "genius." That was the colorful, eccentric, inventive Ward Kimball. Ward Kimball started with Disney as an artist in the 1930's and continued into the 1980's as a consultant. While his achievements are many, he is popularly known for creating Jiminy Cricket's unmistakable look and being one of Walt's "9 Old Men-" the handful of artists whom Walt considered his most talented and valuable. Kimball also directed Oscar-winning Disney shorts, and continuing on through the 1980's as a consultant on Walt Disney World. Frank Thomas was one of Walt Disney's team of animators known as the Nine Old Men. He graduated from Stanford University, attended Chouinard Art Institute, then joined The Walt Disney Company on September 24, 1934 as employee number 224. There he animated dozens of feature films and shorts, and also was a member of the Dixieland band Firehouse Five Plus Two. His work in animated shorts included The Brave Little Tailor, in which he animated scenes of Mickey Mouse and the king; Mickey and the bear in The Pointer, and German dialogue scenes in the World War II propaganda short Education for Death (shortly before Thomas enlisted in the airforce). He also worked on Pooh and Piglet in two of the Winnie the Pooh featurettes. In feature films, among the characters and scenes Thomas animated were the dwarfs crying over Snow White's "dead" body, Pinocchio singing at the marionette theatre, Bambi and Thumper on the ice, Lady and the Tramp eating spaghetti, the three fairies in Sleeping Beauty, Merlin and Arthur as squirrels in The Sword in the Stone, and King Louie in The Jungle Book. Thomas was directing animator for several memorable villains, including the evil stepmother Lady Tremaine in Cinderella, the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland, and Captain Hook in Peter Pan. He retired from Disney on January 31, 1978. Oliver Johnston was a pioneer in the field of motion picture animation. He was one of Disney's Nine Old Men, and the last living member. Johnston attended Stanford University, the University of California, Berkeley, and Chouinard Art Institute. Ollie married a fellow Disney employee, Ink and Paint artist Marie Worthey, in 1943. Marie Johnston passed away May 20, 2005. He was a directing animator at Walt Disney Studios from 1935-1978. He contributed to many films including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Bambi and Pinocchio. Johnston co-authored, with Frank Thomas, the classic reference book The Illusion Of Life. This book helped preserve the knowledge of the techniques that were developed at the studio. The partnership of Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas is fondly presented in the documentary "Frank and Ollie", produced by Theodore Thomas, Frank's son. Joe Grant was a Disney artist and writer. He worked for The Walt Disney Company as an animator beginning in 1933 on the Mickey Mouse short, "Mickey's Gala Premiere". He was a Disney legend. He created the Queen in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He co-wrote Dumbo and Lady and the Tramp. He also led development of Fantasia and Pinocchio. During World War II, he worked on war cartoon including the Academy Award winning "Der Fuehrer's Face". He left the Disney studio in 1949 and ran a ceramics business and a greeting card business but returned in the 1989 to work on Beauty and the Beast. He worked on Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Fantasia 2000, Monsters, Inc. and Mulan among others. He died of a heart attack while working at his drawing board in his studio. He worked four days a week at Disney even though he was 9 days short of his 97th birthday. A cartoon he directed, "Lorenzo", received an Academy Award nomination in 2005. Ken O'Connor: Legendary Disney layout artist Kendall O'Connor was born in Perth, Australia, O'Connor emigrated to the U.S. in 1930. In 1935, he was hired as a layout artist at Disney Studio, where he worked until his retirement in 1974. Some of his career highlights at Disney include designs for 13 animated features including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Cinderella, Peter Pan and nearly 100 shorts, including the 1953 Oscar winner, Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom. He passed away in 1998. Also signed by Disney greats Don Lusk, Thor Putnam, and Berny Wolf. The book is in very fine condition. This collection of signatures can never been obtained first-hand again; all 8 artists have passed away since this book was autographed. Includes the Phil Sears Collectibles Lifetime Guarantee of Authenticity. Item # 3784, $499
