The Last of the Nine Old Men

[filkertom]

Great sadness. Disney legend Ollie Johnston, the last living member of Walt Disney's "Nine Old Men", has passed away at the age of 95. Truly, the end of an era.

That's VERY sad. Very sad. His last work in Hollywood was supply a voice to a character named Ollie in Brad Bird's "The Iron Giant"

Just FYI you're incorrect on the last work. He had a bit part in The Incredibles:

Ah.. you are right!

I'm sorry to hear that. Ollie was one of the greatest artistic talents of the 20th or any other century. We'll never see his like again.

Tremendous sadness. I grew up with a lot of those movies back when the Disney Channel was more than just "high school musical" and some of the other stuff they've been showing, before there were even commercials on it if that tells you anything about my age ;)

But yeah. He will be greatly missed. ;_;
