The
animation family pays patriarch their due
Frank and
Ollie
with
Roy Disney
Marc Davis, the Disney animator and imagineer, with his wife Alice, set
up the Marc Lecture series at the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and
Sciences in 1994. It's purpose is to provide a
forum for animators to share their experiences and to
explore challenges of the future.
On April 9th, 2003, at the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater, the eighth
in this series,
honored
Frank &
Ollie in a program titled “Frank & Ollie, Drawn
Together”.
The praise was effusive, and the evening glittered. The event was sold
out, and animators filled the audience and the stage.
Below is the Program from the Academy event. Added to it are
pictures of the presenters. Click on the pictures to see a video of
that part of the event. (requires

In the Mark Twain classic, “Tom Sawyer”, Tom and Huck, after rafting on
the river, sneak back into town, only to attend their own funeral.
Frank was asked the next day what he thought of the
evening. He pondered for a moment and with a twinkle in his eye, he
quipped,
“Now I know how Tom Sawyer felt." |
