@UncleWalt1971 @rriveracreative That’s a story for another time.

@rriveracreative Surprised it’s not on Disney+. Unless it is and I haven’t found it.

The first African American animator at the Disney Studios was Floyd Norman, who started as an in-betweener at Disney in the 1950s. He became a full-time animator in time to work on “Sleeping Beauty” in 1957 and also worked on “101 Dalmatians” and “Jungle Book.” He quit Disney after Walt died in 1966 to co-found Vignette Films, working on, among other things, the intro animation for the TV show “Soul Train,” and later on the “Fat Albert” show. He eventually returned to Disney as a story artist and writer, working on “Robin Hood,” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Mulan,” “Toy Story 2,” and “Monsters Inc.” He’s still with us, at 90 years old.

@UncleWalt1971 @facebh18 Had the pleasure of being on @netflix from 2017-2021. @hbomax @tcm @criterionchannl now!

@facebh18 Great, I will look for it. I heard it was Netflix and I couldn’t find it there. Shocked it’s not playing on Disney+ but I suppose it’s just a licensing thing at the moment.

@UncleWalt1971 @facebh18 @hbomax @tcm @criterionchannl @Criterion

@facebh18 What service did you watch it on? Netflix?

@facebh18 @UncleWalt1971 ❤️🙏🏾❤️

@UncleWalt1971 I just watched the documentary they did on him from 2016 and I loved it!

@UncleWalt1971 @TexasDuckling12

@TexasDuckling12 He may be enjoying his retirement but it would be amazing to see him in action!

@UncleWalt1971 @HippyDisneyGuy ❤️🙏🏾❤️

@HippyDisneyGuy I know he’s active on Twitter but that would really be an amazing thing, to see him and listen to his stories. A living legend who knew Walt. Not many left.

@UncleWalt1971 ❤️🙏🏾❤️
