Walt Disney - Mickeypedia: The Disney Encyclopedia! |
 | | As the studio expanded and diversified into other media, Disney devoted less of his attention to the animation department, entrusting most of its operations to his key animators, whom he dubbed the Nine Old Men. |
| | During Disney’s life time, the animation department created the successful Lady and the Tramp (in CinemaScope, 1955) and One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961) and the financially disappointing Sleeping Beauty (in Super Technirama 70mm, 1959) and The Sword in the Stone (1963). |
| | Production on the short cartoons had kept pace until 1956, when Disney shut down the shorts division. |
