Welcome @verleniahall and congratulations to Swilcox on reaching 10% of goal and Alice Blue!
The Nine Old Men were Disney's core animators, some of whom later became directors, who created some of Disney's most famous animated cartoons, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs up to The Rescuers. They were referred to as such by Walt Disney himself. While alll members of the group are now deceased—the first being John Lounsbery, who died in 1976 from heart failure and the last being Ollie Johnston, who died in 2008 from natural causes—they all have been acknowledged as Disney Legends. All of the Nine Old Men worked on Alice in Wonderland, with Marc Davis being responsible for Alice, Frank Thomas for the Queen of Hearts, Ward Kimball for the White Rabbit, Tweedledum and Tweedlee, the March Hare and the Mad Hatter, and John Lounsbery for the Cheshire Cat.
