Happy Birthday, Walt!

Today is Walt Disney's 110th birthday.
This man not only changed the world of entertainment forever, he also changed many people's lives, mine included. 
Google/Life-Images has a few wonderful photos of Walt and some of his artists.

  7. Andreas,

    A bit of a random question on the day after Walt's birthday. I actually saw him in Disneyland in 1966 on the opening day of "It's a Small World."

    I would like to know about your inspirations for Jafar and how did the team come up with the idea of Iago as his lackey.

    While I am not an animator I taught animators for the past ten years in Hong Kong and may teach them again sometime soon. I am always curious about the genesis and development of creative ideas.

    Thanks.

  14. Peter and Andreas,
    thanks! I'll post something on Tigger soon.

    Russel,
    Iago was always in the picture, from the beginning.
    I remember I drew Jafar's shoulders wider, so Iago had more room to move around.
    And I am jealous you saw Walt Disney!
