𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Walt with legendary animator and director Ward Kimball. Although Ward never directly "Imagineered" for Disneyland, his "Man in Space" series of episodes for television (pictured) coincided with and informed the development of Tomorrowland the place. Ward later served as an Imagineer on Epcot's World of Motion. He was inducted as a Disney Legend in 1989. Over the next few weeks, look for "𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞" highlighting those imagineers who helped create Walt's Disneyland! #disneylegend #wardkimball #walt #disney #waltdisney #maninspace #nineoldmen #disneylandtv #tomorrowland #imagineering #imagineer #epcot #worldofmotion #disneystudios (at Walt Disney Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8qGUKrJYqv/?igshid=1roq8jijozyuq

Here's another test shot I #animated which I thought was lost forever haha. Dale Baer was my mentor at this time which was awesome! He worked with the #nineoldmen and shared many cool stories about the #studio back then. #animationprinciples lostandfound #eyore #pooh #winniethepooh #winniethepoohmovie #disney #disneymagic #disneyanimation #disneyfan #animation #animationtest #animationprinciples #animationpaper #illusionoflife (at Walt Disney Animation Studios)

Found this today

Ward Kimball, one of Walt’s top animators and good friend, was known for his wit and dry sense of humor .During one of his animation lectures at Cal Arts in the 80s, Kimball opened up by saying “Walt’s dead You missed it.” I’m sure it caught everyone by surprise. When I read that quote I wondered what he meant by that. I think what he was trying to tell the new generation of aspiring animators was not to focus so much on trying to be the next Walt or what he would have done, but to do their own thing and advance the medium of animation in their own way. That’s why I made this piece as a reminder to myself to always look forward. #wardkimball #nineoldmen #wardkimballanimation #animation #disneyanimation #wardkimballstyle #waltdisney #waltdisneydeathanniversary #papercutartist #papercaricature #caricature #newspapercollageart #newspapercollage #mixedmedia #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CXh2xoMre3-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Heard some jazz music at work the other day for Fat Tuesday and when the trombone was most noted, I immediately thought of a cartoony Ward Kimball walking around. Coincidentally it was his birthday this past Monday. He would’ve been 105. Happy Belated Birthday Ward!!! #wardkimball #caricature #disney #disneyanimation #nineoldmen #cartoon #trombone #gesturedrawing #artist #animator #animation #jiminycricket #aliceinwonderland #dumbo #threecaballeros #pecosbill #art #digitalart #photoshop #tribute #birthday #illustration #instaart #design #graphicdesign #drawing #dailyart #color #paint #funny (at Buffalo, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuuO5UfhTO-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ryq2t0yxw7up
