  • Biographical Description for the Historymakers® Video Oral History with Floyd Norman
    Biographical Description for The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History with Floyd Norman PERSON Norman, Floyd , 1935- Alternative Names: Norman, Floyd , 1935-; Life Dates: June 22, 1935- Place of Birth: Santa Barbara, California Residence: Pasadena, CA Occupations: Animator; ; Scriptwriter Biographical Note Animator and script writer Floyd Norman was born on June 22, 1935 in Santa Barbara, California. He began producing animated films while he was still in high school. Early in his career, Norman worked with Bill Woggon and Katy Keen on the animated comic book series, "Archie." In the 1960s, Norman attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, majoring in illustration. After graduating, Norman was hired at Walt Disney Studios, where he served as an apprentice for ten years. He started working as an animator on the film, "Sleeping Beauty" and was promoted to the story department. Under Walt Disney’s personal supervision, Norman worked on the story sequence for a scene entitled, “The Waltz,” in the animated film, "The Jungle Book." Norman met fellow African American animation artist Leo Sullivan right after Sullivan graduated from college and began searching for employment. The two animators realized that they had similar interests and started working with each other on various animated films. Sullivan wrote and directed a short cartoon on the story of Christopher Columbus and later, the two produced an elaborate animated fantasy tale. Norman’s and Sullivan’s films helped Sullivan earn his first professional job in the animation industry. In the mid-1960s, Norman left Walt Disney Studios, and alongside Sullivan, founded Vignette Films, Inc. where they produced six animated films on the subject of black history.

  • Monthly Program Synopsis: Disney Women Animators and the History of Cartooning February 26, 2019, MH Library
    Monthly Program Synopsis: Disney Women Animators and the History of Cartooning February 26, 2019, MH Library Suman Ganapathy VP Programs, Yvonne Randolph introduced museum educator from the Walt Disney Museum, Danielle Thibodeau, in her signature vivacious style. It was followed by a fascinating and educational presentation by Thibodeau about women animators and their role in the history of cartooning as presented in the Disney Family Museum located in the Presidio, San Francisco. The talk began with a short history of the museum. The museum, which opened in 2009, was created by one of Walt Disney’s daughters, Diane Disney Miller. After discovering shoeboxes full of Walt Disney’s Oscar awards at the Presidio, Miller started a project to create a book about her father, but ended up with the museum instead. Disney’s entire life is presented in the museum’s interactive galleries, including his 248 awards, early drawings, animation, movies, music etc. His life was inspirational. Disney believed that failure helped an individual grow, and Thibodeau said that Disney always recounted examples from his own life where he never let initial failures stop him from reaching his goals. The history of cartooning is mainly the history of Walt Dissey productions. What was achieved in his studios was groundbreaking and new, and it took many hundreds of people to contribute to its success. The Nine Old Men: Walt Disney’s core group of animators were all white males, and worked on the iconic Disney movies, and received more than their share of encomium and accolades. The education team of the Walt Disney museum decided to showcase the many brilliant and under-appreciated women who worked at the Disney studios for the K-12 students instead.

Contact: [email protected] 2-D or Not 2-D? How the Iris Closed on Hand-Drawn Feature Animation By Thad Komorowski The Digital Age We Live In In just 20 years, an entire industry went from an all-time zenith to complete annihilation. As the art of 3-D computer-generated imagery triumphed, the hand-drawn animated feature’s position sunk from its position as a centerpiece of mainstream entertainment to a dank corner of seeming nonexistence. For the last decade, acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki has swam against that prevailing cultural tide by making animated feature films with 2-D hand-drawn animation. Films like Howl’s Moving Castle (2004) and Ponyo (2008) exemplify how poetic, dreamlike fantasy is still capable in animation without using pixels to pixilate. Yet time, economics and, seemingly, public taste have finally caught up with Miyazaki. In November, he announced his retirement and confirmed that his Studio Ghibli has put the kibosh on feature film production. After last year’s The Wind Rises, the 73-year-old director accepts the reality that is a disheartening future for the art form he holds dearest: “I do think the era of pencil, paper and film is coming to an end.” One of the gem scenes from Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo might have cried for CGI effects in another filmmaker’s movie.
