In celebration of this weekend's D23 convention in Anaheim, California, we're happy to revisit this episode from August of 2018: Floyd Norman is an official Disney Legend, and so much more: Walt Disney's first full-time African-American animator, a contributor to such films as Sleeping Beauty and The Jungle Book, a disciple of Disney's legendary Nine Old Men, and a story man on such Pixar features as Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc. What's more, as Leonard and Jessie have learned, he's a naturally funny man, a great storyteller, and a sweetheart of a guy with an irreverent sense of humor. He's even the subject of a first-class documentary called Floyd Norman: An Animated Life. Tune in for some great anecdotes and first-hand memories of Walt Disney. Recorded live at That's from Disneyland, courtesy of its creators Richard and Nicky Kraft

Episode 244: Floyd Norman. Join host Cody with Justin, Jenn, Joe, and friend of the show, Animator, Screenwriter, Artist, & Disney Legend Floyd Norman. Settle in and enjoy the master storyteller. Norman had his start as an assistant to comic book artist Bill Woggon, who lived in the Santa Barbara, California, area that Norman grew up in. Norman first joined the Disney studio in 1956. As an in-betweener on Sleeping Beauty, he assisted Frank Thomas working on the fairies Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. As an assistant animator on Mary Poppins, he worked on The Pearly Band. As a story artist on The Jungle Book, he was responsible for much of the gags in the "Trust In Me" sequence with Mowgli and Kaa, and for the Vultures. After Walt Disney's death in 1966, Floyd Norman left Disney Studios to co-found the AfroKids animation studio, with business partner animator/director Leo Sullivan. Norman and Sullivan worked together on various projects such as the original Hey! Hey! Hey! It's Fat Albert television special which aired in 1969 on NBC (not to be confused with the later Fat Albert series made by Filmation Associates). Norman returned to Disney at one point in the early 1970s to work on the Disney animated feature Robin Hood and worked on several animated television programs at Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears. In the 1980s he worked as a writer in the comic strip department at Disney and was the last scripter for the Mickey Mouse comic strip before it was discontinued. More recently he has worked on motion pictures for Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios, having contributed creatively as a story artist on films, such as Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc. for Pixar and Mulan, Dinosaur, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame for Walt Disney Animation, among others. He continues to work for the Walt Disney Co. as a freelance consultant on various projects. Norman has also published several books of cartoons inspired by his lifetime of experiences in the animation industry, Faster! Cheaper!, Son of Faster, Cheaper!, How the Grinch Stole Disney, Disk Drive: Animated Humor In The Digital Age, and Suspended Animation: The Art Form That Refuses To Die. Norman's latest book, titled: Animated Life: A Lifetime of tips, tricks, techniques, and stories from an animation Legend (Animation Masters) was published by Focal Press in 2013 Debuting at the 2017 D23 Expo, Disney Editions published the picture book: A Kiss Goodnight written by Richard Sherman and illustrated by Norman. Floyd Norman: An Animated Life, a feature-length documentary on his life and career was released in 2016.

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi and William Thrasher discuss The Flintstones. A live-action adaptation of the 1960s cartoon, The Flintstones was in the works for almost a decade. Fred Flinstons (John Goodman) gives all his savings to help his friend Barney (Rick Moranis) adopt a child. To pay him back, Barney flips his test results with Fred at work. Fred becomes an executive and an asshole. Will he succumb to Sharon Stone (Halle Berry) and Cliff Vandercave's (Kyle MachLachlan) wiles? The Flintstones wavers uneasily in its tone. Opening with a recreation of the show's theme song? Great. Having a plot focusing on infedility and embezzelement? Not so great. It has too complicated a plot even at its best of times, but it's a triumph of set design with performances that ape, but don't mimic, the classic cartoon characters. Mat enjoys the documentary Floyd Norman: An Animated Life about the long career of an animator who started work with Disney on Sleeping Beauty, ended up forming a production company responsible for the title sequence of Soul Train, and ended up helping with story on Toy Story 2. Thrasher caught up with the fun Supernatural crossover episode of Scooby Doo and the serviceable Scooby Doo! Wrestlemania Mystery. Ratings for The Flintstones: Mat: Sequel Yes Thrasher: Sequel Yes Follow the show on Twitter @Sequelcast2 Like our Sequelcast 2 Facebook Page The theme song to the Sequelcast is written and performed by Marc with a C.

The Disney Classics are ... classics, and with good reason: they had superbly talented people undertaking huge and complicated projects for years on end, culminating in stories and films that are still relevant today. On this show, we talk to the filmmakers of a documentary about one such man who was at the forefront of these classic films ... Floyd Norman: An Animated Life But first ... Nothing - we get right to it with filmmakers Michael Fiore and Erik Sharkey talking about their new film, "Floyd Norman: An Animated Life. We loved this film, and both Michael and Erik did a great job getting some great stories out of Floyd in the movie - which didn't seem to involve too much coaxing. Floyd is a very interesting guy with a massive amount of work to his credit, much of it on animated classics that helped to shape the field. To coincide with the movie release on Blu-Ray, Michael and Erik are having a contest called, "Floydering with Floyd", and all you have to do is the following: Buy a copy of the Blu-Ray Snap a photo of you with the film Post it on social media with the hashtag "#Floydering" That's it! Anyway, thanks to the guys for coming on and talking with us about our new crush! Speaking of crushes, we have Jeremy from SpectroRadio on again to give us some more history of Disney music, then we do our feedback segment, Fact of the Show, and we are done! See you in the Parks!
