In the video below, Ollie talks about how he created his characters, giving a surprising amount of detailed insight into his work methods. This is fascinating material for anyone who aspires to master the craft of animation, and what comes across most strongly is the amount of time and effort that the Disney animators put into their research, shooting live action, and studying life, in order to create their characters.
To watch the video, which forms part of the excellent "Disney Family Album" series of in-house videos, shot in the late 1980s and early 1990s, follow the link below.
