Frank and Ollie (1995)

Frank and Ollie: Directed by Theodore Thomas. With Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Sylvia Roemer, John Canemaker. A documentary about two famed Disney animators, Frank and Ollie.

“This documentary is about Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston–two animators from the so-called u0026#39;group of nineu0026#39;. These were the important animators who worked for Disney through its classic days and helped to make the great full-length pictures* that made the studio even more famous. In addition, they were the two surviving members of the group AND were amazingly close friends…among the closest you ever could hear about and this is very touching. The film was made by Franku0026#39;s son, Theodore–and Theodore went on to make some other touching and interesting documentaries, such as u0026quot;Walt u0026amp; El Groupou0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile at times the film seemed a bit vague when it came to the story AND I assume there was much more that I would like to have heard from the guys, it is a delightful film and well worth seeing. And, although Frank u0026amp; Ollie seemed very elderly in the film, they both went on to live another decade or more after u0026quot;Frank and Ollieu0026quot; debuted. An amazingly nice and sweet film.”
