Truly a terrible loss. He was a great contributor to the animation community and will be missed.
Rest in peace.

WHAT?
Oh no!!! I've LOVED this guy (seriously, he's been my hero since I was a kid).

The end of an era.
Rest in peace.

man.....that really sucks. What a lost, I remember reading up on Disney's Nine Old Men and from what I can remember he did work for Snow white and others....but wow.

Nobody will ever forget his skills and the memories he put into the Disney movies :3

That truly is a tragedy.

But it's like someone else said: they'll always live on in their work. :)

i knew some part of me felt like i should have checked up on my LJ yesterday ;_;

i was sad enough when i found out he was the last surviving member of the Nine Old Men, and it gave me the slightest hope that i may get to meet him....guess not *weeps*

	From: fireflowerlass	Date: April 16th, 2008 12:58 am (UTC)		(Link)

Aww...yeah that is a real shame :-( I remember seeing him on a making-of movie for Sleeping Beauty: so cute and so talented.

	From: calamityalpaca	Date: April 16th, 2008 02:42 am (UTC)		(Link)

he was 95 years old...
rip ollie. you will always be loved and missed. =[

	From: sailorsilver	Date: April 17th, 2008 03:25 am (UTC)		(Link)

Oh no! What a loss...

Well at ninety-five, he had to be coming close to his final bows, but still...I mean, dang. I do take comfort though, that not only is his memory preserved forever in all the work he did for the Disney Co, but that he has a personal cameo in The Incredibles, so his face and voice are preserved as well, and not hiding in special features on DVDs.

I'm so sorry you didn't get the chance to meet him, Bri, but I know his work will inspire you forever and your artwork will be a better tribute to him than anything else.

*hug*
