Thank you Ollie! You got me into Animation along with the other 8! ^_^ wish I could've met you before you walked into the sunset yourself, perhaps... another time :D
To me, he always seems very genuine and enthusiastic about animation. You can tell from the way he continues to post studies and analysis of Disney animation on his blog even after he left the studio. In any case, you can't really know unless you've met him, right?
@FoxWood2222 but we have new animators here.. even old ones who still have the spirit and visons of the nine old men in them. Just wanna name: Glen Keane!
@dreadss64 i know i know.. but a person isnt just the stuff he can do.. i really like his animations but his Person.. seems to be not that nice as i hoped - just talking about his appareance on interviews
@dreadss64 hmm yeah but no.. i dont know .. to me, he seems to be a real jerk in every interview. I dont really like him alot. but have to say i dont know none of them in person
I just wanted to come back and watch these. Thanks for everything, Ollie
Ollie had his 95th Birthday this last Halloween. Amazing man!

Truly one of the best in its class. Rest in peace.
