Legend Larson Leaves...


On this day...

Twenty-two years ago, Eric Larson retires from the Walt Disney Company. One of Walt's original "Nine Old Men"... he leaves the studio after creating an amazing amount of beautiful work. His last work was as an advisor on "The Great Mouse Detective", which set about the beginning of the second Golden Age of Disney animation. It's fitting that this was his swan song; breathing new life into something he helped create. Still, the halls of the Animation Building are a little more lonely after this day...
