Academy Award-winning independent animator and historian, John Canemaker, explores the iconic animation of Disney.

Professor Canemaker will discuss Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, two of Disney’s famed animators and members of the infamous “Nine Old Men.” Both were pioneers of “personality animation” and worked on Disney classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Bambi, Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, and many other films.
