Ollie Johnston (October 31, 1912 – April 14, 2008)

I was saddened today to hear of the news that Ollie Johnston, the last of the Nine Old Men, died today at the age of 96.

Along with Milt Kahl, he was a huge source of inspiration. As well as a huge source of knowledge, thanks to his book, The Illusion of Life. I’m glad to know he had a nice, full life of 96 years, and he was a benefit to this world and us all.

Im going to watch The Sword In The Stone, or Jungle Book…

R.I.P. Ollie, and thank you
