Animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston talk about the music of Bambi, and legendary composer Henry Mancini expresses his appreciation of Bambi's score.
From a 1957 interview, Walt Disney recounts preparing his studio for Bambi, and animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston tell their stories from the production of the film.
Producer and Director Ted Thomas is back on the show to talk about his beloved documentary "Frank and Ollie" which is now streaming on Disney+. It's the story of Ted's father Frank Thomas and fellow animator Ollie Johnston. We'll discuss some of their amazing accomplishments at the Walt Disney Studio. They were there from the 1930s into the 1980s. We'll also talk about their inspirational friendship and Ted shares what it was like producing a documentary about family. In our Disney Views we cover our favorite Disney collections. A perfect topic for animation art collector Steve Spain who's back with us as well. We caught up with Ted at Disney Fest 2024 held at the Peoria Riverfront Museum in Peoria, Il. Learn more about the Peoria Riverfront Museum and all it has to offer at peoriariverfrontmuseum.org.

There, he worked a summer job at an ice cream shop near Disney Studios. It’s there that he probably met Walt, who complimented the young Clark on the lettering of the menus, which eventually led him to have the courage to ask Walt for a Job.The Monday after his High school graduation, Clark reported to Disney Studios for a temporary position in 1927.He started work as a camera operator and in the ink and paint department, before moving to work under the guidance Ub Iwerks. He was the only one of the Nine Old Men to work with Iwerks on the Origins of Mickey Mouse. And during the famous character’s development, Clark was promoted to the position of Inbetweener, where he worked on a scene in ‘Steamboat Willie’.When Iwerks left Disney, Clark was made Lead Animator on Mickey Mouse.

They created some of Walt Disney Studios’ most famous work -- such films as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Rescuers, and many more.As a joke, Walt called them the Nine Old Men as a play on words for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s nine Supreme Court judges. The joke was that most of the Nine Old Men were in their 20s!All nine of them were named Disney Legends in 1989.Brenda’s First Selection: Frank ThomasName: Franklin Rosborough ThomasBorn: September 5, 1912 Birthplace: Santa Monica, CADied: September 8, 2004College: Two years at Fresno State College where he played in the band. While there he filmed a silent film called “The Sophomore.” He also drew cartoons for the school yearbook.Then he finished his degree with two years at Stanford University – and then onto Chouinard Art Institute (met Ollie Johnston at Stanford and both went to Chouinard)He painted beautiful watercolor pictures and illustrations. He also produced oil paintings and portraits. His life drawings are absolutely beautiful. I suggest you Google “Breakfast and the Genius of Frank Thomas” to get a look. They are really something.After Chouinard, he applied at the Walt Disney Company.As the 6th hire of Walt’s Nine Old Men he was hired by the Walt Disney Company on September 24, 1934. His employee number was 224.He retired on January 31, 1978Animation Career1st animation short – “Brave Little Tailor”He was known for combining artistry and sincere actingHe and Ollie Johnston were a great team – Frank and OlliePopular characters and scenes he animated:The dwarfs crying over Snow White’s “dead” bodyPinocchio singing at the marionette theatreBambi and Thumper on the iceLady and the Tramp eating spaghettiThe three fairies in Sleeping Beauty (Flora, Fauna and Meriwether)The dancing penguins in Mary PoppinsDirecting Animator for several villains:Lady Tremaine in CinderellaQueen of Hearts in Alice in WonderlandCaptain Hook in Peter PanOther professional accomplishments:Co-authored with Ollie the book “Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life” THE TEXTBOOK for Animation courses still today. The book is known as “the bible” among character animators.Last professional work before his death in 2004 was The Incredibles. He wasn’t an animator, though, he was a voice character. You may remember the scene with the 2 old men saying “That’s old school…” (Frank) and “Yeah, no school like the old school.” (Ollie)Best professional advice he gave to upcoming animators?

Welcome to the Ink and Paint Girls podcast where we celebrate women working in animation and explore representation behind the scenes and on the screen. In an era where women mostly worked in the Ink and Paint Department, a young woman named Bianca Majolie was hired to (as one news outlet reported) invade "the strictly masculine stronghold" of the story department at Disney Animation. She was the first recorded woman to work as a storyboard and concept artist for the company. Her most remembered accomplishment was creating the Silly Symphony cartoon, Elmer Elephant, as well as was a source of inspiration for animators like Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston who sited her philosophies on pathos for how the studio's storytelling style eventually evolved. A lesson that the gag-driven storytellers in the room weren't ready for at the time! Hosted by Rebecca Nelson and Cassie Soliday. Additional research by Samantha Conroy @anim_heroine ----- The episode artwork of Bianca Majolie was drawn and painted by the wonderful Madi Hodges.

The Disney Family Album was an original documentary series produced by The Disney Channel in the mid 1980’s. Episodes aired from June 1984 until January 1986 with each episode running about 30 minutes. They were produced by Michael Bonifer along with Carden Walker, the son of Card Walker (The third Disney Company leader after Walt and Roy Disney). The series lasted just 20 episodes and was designed to take a look at the artist and performance that shaped Disney Studios and Disney Parks, most of whom worked directly with Walt. The people featured created some of the most iconic Disney characters, movies and attractions ever developed. Narrated by Buddy Ebsen, the series is a true history lesson and provides the perfect time capsule with incredible insight and behind the scenes stories. In the greater scheme of things, the timing of these 20 episodes was perfect; any earlier or later in Disney History, and they may not have happened. Of the 20 episodes produced, 7 showcased one of Walt’s Nine Old Men: Marc Davis, Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Eric Larson, Wolfgang (or Woolie) Rytherman, Milt Kahl and Ward Kimball – all featuring stories directly from them! Only Les Clark and John Lounsbery, who both passed away in the 1970’s, are missing from Walt’s Nine Old Men. Other episodes featured Disney Legends like The Sherman Brothers, Ken Anderson, Annette Funicello, and Jim Macdonald to name just a few. One episode focused on Voice Actors, while another Disneyland Designers and WED Imagineers including interviews with Herb Ryman, Bill Evans, John Hench, and a very young Tony Baxter. Disney Family Album was produced by MICA. The master tapes were given to Disney sometime after the series was cancelled in 1986. Most of the original footage was lost in the Disney tape vault, which was not digitized. While some has been found, most of the original footage and the finished first episode, “Clarence Ducky Nash”, was not found. The remainder of the episodes come from Disney Vault replays captured on VHS in the 1990’s. The Clarence Nash episode was not replayed in the 1990’s. Brian McEntee and John Lasseter are credited with the “Title Design”, which of course, was computer generated; the timing is very interesting. Shortly after the production of the title design in early 1984, John was fired from Disney for promoting computer animation making this title design one of his last Disney credits. Of course, he joined Lucasfilms Computer Graphic Group which was later sold to Steve Jobs and became Pixar in 1986 – we all know the story from there. For this episode of SamsDisneyDiary, I’m highlighting the second episode in the series, Ward Kimball.

The Mouse Castle Lounge Podcast: Disney News and Interviews, Cocktails and Conversations
Two weeks ago in the Lounge, Tim began a two-part conversation with Steve Hulett. In the 1970s and 80s, Steve was a story man at Disney Animation, following in the footsteps of his father, longtime Disney artist Ralph Hulett. In part one, Steve shared how he started his career at Disney—working for writer Larry Clemmons—and ten years later, how his Disney career ended. Today, in part two, Steve tells more behind-the-scenes stories about some of the Nine Old Men including Woolie Reithermann, Ward Kimball, Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas. Steve talks candidly about the departure of Don Bluth and a group of other Disney animators to form their own studio in 1979, the challenge of working for animator and future Disney Legend Ken Anderson, the arrival of Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg in the mid 1980s, and finally, the notorious internal memo that incited the wrath of Disney Feature Animation president Peter Schneider. Steve Hulett is Tim's guest today in The Mouse Castle Lounge. You can read more about Steve Hulett's Disney exploits in his book "Mouse in Transition: An Insider's Look at Disney Feature Animation," available from Amazon.com and Theme Park Press. www.TheMouseCastle.comRSS Feed: http://themousecastle.libsyn.com/rss
The Mouse Castle Lounge Podcast: Disney News and Interviews, Cocktails and Conversations
We're celebrating the holidays at Walt's Barn in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, with Tim's guests Carolwood Foundation president Bill Barbe, author Sam Gennawey and Margaret Kerry, the live-action model for Tinker Bell in Walt Disney's "Peter Pan." The Carolwood Foundation operates Walt's Barn, which originally stood next to Disney's sprawling 1/8 scale train layout in the backyard of his Holmby Hills home in the 1950s. Today, the barn is a museum with numerous train artifacts, many used by Walt himself. Other items are from the collections of train enthusiasts including Disney animators Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston. Next to the barn, the Carolwood Foundation has restored an original combine car from the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad and is working on other restoration projects including original buildings from Disneyland's Storybook Land Canal Boats and a train from the Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland. www.TheMouseCastle.com

We're going back in time once again on Mousterpiece Cinema, so get set. This week, Josh and Gabe take on one of the most dynamic duos in Disney history: Frank and Ollie. That's Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, two of the venerated Nine Old Men, to all of you who might be unfamiliar. They're the focus of this 1995 documentary about their four-plus decades at the Walt Disney Company, covering films as diverse as Bambi and Robin Hood, and everything in between. Does this documentary rise above the simple, in spite of being directed by Frank's son? What kind of detail might be missing from the final product? And how does Ken Burns ("Kenny baby" to his friends, of course) figure into all of this? Find out on the new show!
TAG Interview with David BlockFind all TAG Interviews on the TAG website at this link David Block was among the earlier applicants to Walt Disney productions feature animation training program, but he was far from a beginner. He had already broken in with Chuck Jones and Abe Lebitow, had already assisted Art Babbit on the Richard Williams feature Ragged Ann and Andy. Disney, however, turned out to be a career track that lasted decades ... Dave worked on Frank Thomas's and Ollie Johnston's last feature The Fox and the Hound, then went on to the featurette Mickey's Christmas Carol followed by The Black Cauldron and The Great Mouse Detective. He was set to start on the next feature when a chance meeting with Disney Television Animation's Michael Webster sent him on a new career trajectory: supervising the production of television cartoons. Mr. Block spent over a decade producing, directing and otherwise superintending product inside Disney's newer animation division. He then returned to feature work in the 1990s, working on Tarzan, Emperor's New Groove, and Treasure Planet among others. Today, after directing and animation assignments at Nickelodeon and Warner Bros, Dave is again animating at Walt Disney Animation Studios.
