    Disney Legend Ollie Johnston Dies

    Journal Entry: Mon Apr 14, 2008, 9:56 PM
    ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

    "Ollie Johnston, the last surviving animator of Disney's famed Nine Old Men, passed away today April 14, 2008. Johnston worked for the Mouse House from 1935 to 1978, working as an animator on such classics as SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, FANTASIA, BAMBI and PINOCCHIO. He last worked on THE RESCUERS, a film for which he was caricatured as the cat Rufus.

    Along with longtime friend and collaborator Frank Thomas, Johnston co-authored the seminal animation reference book THE ILLUSION OF LIFE, which is used as an animation textbook in schools around the globe. Johnston's friendship and partnership with Thomas was warmly chronicled in the 1995's documentary FRANK AND OLLIE, directed by Frank's son Theodore.

    Oliver Martin Johnston Jr. was born in Palo Alto, California, and attended Stanford University, where he met Thomas on the staff of the STANFORD CHAPARRAL humor magazine. Later he would attend the University of California, Berkeley, and Chouinard Art Institute.

    He first joined Disney, working on shorts such as MICKEY'S GARDEN and THE TORTOISE AND THE HARE. In 1943, he married Disney ink & paint artist Marie Worthey, who passed away on May 20, 2005.

    His lifelong love of trains inspired him to build a scaled railroad and locomotives in his backyard, which inspired the train at Disneyland.

    He was named a Disney Legend in 1989, and in 2005, Johnston was one of the recipients of the National Medal of Arts."

    Seriously my heart is broken by this, him and the other 9 great men, wow mainly him and frank, are the reason why I do what I do. He will remain an inspiration to me and many others always.
    My thoughts and prayers are with him and his loved ones.

    God Bless

    I'm really shocked. I guess really at my own ignorance for not knowing about such a great guy like him until he was dead. )=

    Words cannot express how sad I am by this sudden news... I grew up with the works of Glenn Keane and other newer Disney animators, but it wasn't until College that I discovered the wonder and amazing talent that both he and Frank possessed. Their amazing friendship and their amazing ability to convey everything so perfectly with such genuine character was such a great inspiration to me.

    Rest in peace, Ollie Johnson. You've touched more people than you'll ever know and your legacy will live on and inspire others.

    That's so sad. ): Those nine men are all inspirations to me as well, and Ollie's death is pretty tragic.

    He was an amazing talent. Him and Thomas' work alone on the Jungle Book just blows me away everytime I see it!
