Some of those names that came through his program are household names:Brad Bird (Directed The Incredibles, Incredibles 2, Ratatouille, Tomorrowland)Don Bluth (The Rescuers, Pete’s Dragon)Tim Burton (The Nightmare before Christmas)Ron Clements (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog)Andreas Deja (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King)Glen Keane (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Tangled)John Lasseter (Toy Story Franchise, Cars Franchise, Pixar)It is because of that training program that he earned the nickname “The Beloved Mentor”Eric Larson retired in February, 1986 after 52 years with Disney -- making him the last of the Nine Old Men to retire. Sadly, he passed away just two years later."No one was more concerned with passing on the Disney legacy than Eric." -animator Andreas DejaBrenda’s Selection: John LounsberyBorn:  March 9, 1911      Birthplace:  Cincinnati, OH (but raised in Colorado and loved the outdoors)Died: February 13, 1976  (at the age of 64)College:  The Art Institute of Denver AND Art Center School of Design in Los Angeles.One of his instructors was very impressed with him and he sent him to interview with Walt Disney.As the 8th hire of Walt’s Nine Old Men he was hired by the Walt Disney Company on July 2, 1935 beginning as an assistant animator on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Working under Norm Ferguson he quickly became a star animator.

Hello and welcome to sixteenth episode of Fanboy Nation’s Toon-In-Talk, your rendezvous for animation interviews. Have you ever wondered what happened to kid voice actors when they grow up? Whitney Grace has! After watching Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book, Whitney wondered what happened to Mowgli. It turns out that Mowgli is Bruce Reitherman, son of Wolfgang “Woolie” Reitherman, one Disney’s Nine Old Men! Bruce was more than happy to discuss his experiences voicing Mowgli and growing up at the Walt Disney Animation Studios in the 1960s. Show Notes Bruce voiced Mowgli in The Jungle Book and he is also the son of Wolfgang “Woolie” Reitherman, one of Disney’s Nine Old Men. Growing up in the Disney Studios was like being alive during the Renaissance. Some of his earliest memories include that it was a very family oriented place and some of the people he ran into. Whitney praises the Ink and Paint Club. Bruce delves into the creativity he witnessed at the studio, including how individuals added to the big picture. Woolie took over the art department after Walt Disney passed away. He was always eager to go to work everyday, was a great father, intelligent, and talented. Bruce stresses that all animators had the same attributes as his father and this made them great animators able to capture the illusion of life. Woolie was in charge of the Xerox age of Disney animation. Whitney loves this era, because you can see the original pencil sketches and the animation process. Bruce gives a history of the Xerox process, why Disney implemented it, and what he enjoys about this animation process. Bruce talks about his experience voicing Mowgli in The Jungle Book and the fun he had. Whitney wonders how The Jungle Book changed from the original concept and Bruce explains how Disney was interested in making an enjoyable character film and take it in a new direction from the original story. When Bruce got the Mowgli role, he wasn’t a child actor. His dad needed a regular voice from a regular kid and Bruce was in the right place: living under the same roof as Woolie Reitherman. Bruce shares his views on Mowgli’s different relationships with the animals. Whitney wanted Mowgli to go back to the jungle and live, while Bruce likes the ending where Mowgli goes back to the man village. He likes this ending, because it shows that Mowgli accepts growing up. Bruce “wants to be like you!” and he has never seen The Jungle Book 2.

You may be wondering how a "mini" episode of We Want The D can be the length of a regular episode. Well D Lovers, the truth is these aren't mini episodes, they're Minnie Mouse-isodes, which are very different. In this installment, Vicky, Nolan and Jill dive back in to the history of the Disney company and the personalities who have helped shape it over the year. This week's subject is OG Nine Old Men member and plane metaphor enthusiast Wolfgang Reitherman.

Team Mousetalgia reviews two new books this week. First, we discuss "B-1st" by Disney artists Retta Scott and Woolie Reitherman, and we take a close at this interesting World War II-era proposed children's book that never made it to publication - until 2016. We examine the exquisite art and cultural mores evidenced in this in-progress project that was never completed. Also, we look at "The Art of Moana," and talk about the features, facts and imagery that the book presents about this Academy Award-nominated film. Next, we answer your questions, with topics including Candlelight Weekend expectations; adulting at Disneyland Resort and finding the best lounge; a surprise performance by the Mariachi Divas; preparing toddlers for the drama and excitement of a first trip to Walt Disney World; ideas for commemorating the successful viewing of every Disney animated feature; Disney's ties to Hollywood's Magic Castle; and a cautionary postscript to our stolen stroller story. Plus - show some Disney love this Valentine's season with our tips and tricks!

It's been awhile since we've talked about a legitimate classic in the Disney animated canon, and Vicky, Nolan and Jill could think of no better installment to explore than a personal favourite for all of our hosts - The Sword in the Stone. It's got all the hallmarks of classic Disney - great animation, songs by the Shermans and memorable characters like Merlin, Mad Madame Mim and the new We Want The D mascot, Archimedes. It's also got a lot for our hosts to really dig into, like the possible tyrannical rule of Woolie Reitherman as a solo director, fat horny squirrels, and a strategic breakdown of a wizard's duel. A classic movie makes for a classic podcast, so get ready to blast off to Bermuda with us this week on We Want The D!

On this episode of WEDWay Radio we are proud to take a look at one of our favorite animated features the 1949 film Ichabod and Mr. Toad, and instead of looking at the entire feature we are going to instead look at the second half of the film: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.  This is such a fantastic feature and some of the things that we look at in examining this are:   Animation in the 40's and how this feature ended the "package films" of the 1940's where features were divided up into several subjects or a mix of live action and animated sequences. Washington Irving and the story of Sleepy Hollow.  The first great American author who was internationally acclaimed and how this story was actually part of a larger set of works, including Rip Van Winkle while also creating a history for an area that was not very rich in culture. The art and animation of the film that stood including the work of Frank Thomas, Woolie Reitherman, John Lounsbery and Mary Blair The great music of the film including the narration by Bing Crosby.   Where we can find Sleepy Hollow references in the parks. Enjoy!
