	Walt Disney
		Disney was not the first to animate cartoons: the mechanism had been established as long ago as the late 19th century, and had been used extensively since then, mainly as a commercial tool to boost the content of feature films.
		Disney had the additional insight to realise that the sound, now played on separate equipment, had to be recorded onto the film itself if any kind of convincing result was to be guaranteed.
		Old Yeller was a Disney film in which things did not end happily: the book had its origins in 1869 and became a best seller: it describes the life of a young boy whose dog is bitten by a rabid wolf.

	Walt Disney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Disney was born in Chicago, Illinois to Elias Disney and the former Flora Call.
		Walt Disney Parks and Resorts are renowned over the world for their attentions to detail, hygiene and standards, all set by Walt Disney at Disneyland and continued on at the Walt Disney World Resort, the Tokyo Disney Resort, the Disneyland Resort Paris, and most recently, the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.
		Disney devoted substantial time in his later years funding The California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), which was formed in 1961 through a merger of the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music and the Chouinard Art Institute, which had helped in the training of the animation staff during the 1930s.

	TAG Blog: Disney's "Nine Old Men" -- The Last Hurrah That Wasn't
		The surviving "Nine Old Men" (Frank Thomas, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston and Ward Kimball) were going to animate scenes for the upcoming "Fantasia" sequel.
		It was quite a lot of work: after all, the storyline was that all the Disney princesses all had babies by the Disney heroes, and Donald Duck was set to deliver a stack of crowns to the babes, but all the Disney villains were conspiring to wreck the whole affair.
		The Nine Old Men idea was probably a last ditch effort by Eisner to not suffer an embarrassing defeat of his idea.

	Lenci figurines
		Among the Disney figurines produced in this century, undoubtedly the Lenci Thumper represents one of the highest points of a non-American three-dimensional representation of a Disney character.
		The source clearly appears to be a drawing of Thumper (as published in "Illusion of Life" by Thomas and Johnston, page 27), penciled by one of the "nine old men", legendary animator Frank Thomas.
		Other characters taken from the Disney feature films and produced by Lenci are Pinocchio (item #1334, 19 cm high, walking and holding school books with one hand and an apple with the other) and a gorgeous Dumbo (item #1262, walking too, with his hat on top of his head, 27 cm long).

	Walt Disney by Neal Gabler - Hardcover - Random House
		The Disneys claimed to trace their lineage to the d’Isignys of Normandy, who had arrived in England with William the Conqueror and fought at the Battle of Hastings.
		Though he cleared the stony land and planted orchards, Kepple Disney was a Disney, with airs and dreams, and not the kind of man inclined to stay on a farm forever.
		But if Robert Disney looked the very picture of a man of means, the image obscured the fact that he was actually a schemer with talents for convincing and cajoling that Elias could never hope to match.

	The Comics Reporter
		Johnston was the last of the living "Nine Old Men" named by Walt Disney and then more widely recognized as a foundational aspect of the Disney company's rise to entertainment and cultural dominance in the 20th Century.
		Not only did Disney drive trends and sell comics of their own, the company and its founder and it prime movers were collectively the city on the hill for anyone with ambition of even minor mogul-hood or a successful career in the popular arts.
		Certainly the group of men that included Johnston were a contributing myth to the idea of men-behind-the-works and the notion of esteemed craftsmen working behind a velvet curtain, which at one time was a notion to which very few paid attention.

		Roy Disney, Walt's nephew and a director of the Disney Corporation, said, "One of Ollie's strongest beliefs was that his character should think first, then act, and they all did."
