One of the old voice-over people is a friend of mine. She worked with Walt in the 50s and 60s. She is still alive, and writing her memoirs, in Seattle.
Never been too knowledgeable about animation history, much less Disney’s famous ‘nine,’ but I did once get to attend a screening of “The Reluctant Dragon” at the Disney Burbank studio, where Ward Kimball was present, and answered questions from the audience. I recall there was another old gent (animator) with him. Might have actually been this Johnston fellow.
These men created magic. RIP.
