Celebrate the legacy of Disneys core group of animators, with Walt Disneys Nine Old Men: Masters of Animation, featuring original sketches from classic films such as Pinocchio, Bambi, and Peter Panincluding an exclusive look at the animators lives, with personal caricatures and fine artwork.In the mid1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt coined the term Nine Old Men to describe the nine justices of the Supreme Court, who had seemingly lost touch with the everchanging times. In jest, Walt Disney borrowed the term several years later to refer to his core team of animatorsLes Clark, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Milt Kahl, Ward Kimball, Eric Larson, John Lounsbery, Wolfgang Reitherman, and Frank Thomaseven though they were neither old nor out of touch, and in fact would together make history with their cuttingedge contributions to the world of animation.Produced in conjunction with The Walt Disney Family Museums 2018 exhibition of the same name, Walt Disneys Nine Old Men: Masters of Animation features an array of fascinating artwork and family mementos from each of these accomplished gentlemen, such as sketchbooks, caricatures, and snapshots, as well as original art from the classic films Pinocchio (1940), Bambi (1942), Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955), and Sleeping Beauty (1959). Personal art, paintings, sculptures, flipbooks, and hundreds of original animation drawings are all faithfully presented, alongside pencil tests and final color scenes that showcase their genius.In conducting his extensive research on the Nine Old Men, curator and celebrated producer Don Hahn sat down with each of the animators families for indepth discussions, unearthing details about the unique personalities of the men behind iconic Disney characters and films. The result of this collaboration is a spectacular collection of personal artifacts and ephemera that have never been seen by the public, all of which help tell each animators individual story and reveal how they collectively elevated animation to an art form.After roughly 40 years of mentorship, the Nine Old Men were all named Disney Legends in 1989 in recognition of their lasting contributions, not only to The Walt Disney Studios, but to animation as a whole. This book offers a deep dive into their esteemed work and life storiesand a rich offering of the legacy they helped shape.
