great new story!
and it spares us from endless PIRATES box office projections! yay!

Loved this story. Thank you very much. Can't wait to hear more stories from Floyd Norman!

Thanks, Floyd!  Great article.

Thanks for another great story... this is what seperates JHM from the AICN of Disney.  Although I know little about the history of Disney animators and artists, I am struck by the diversity present in these pictures.  Disney animated features have always given me the impression of open-mindedness and acceptance... maybe having a team that represents a lot different experiences reflects that...

Thanks for the article, Mr. Norman!  It sounds like you worked with a great bunch of people and had a lot of fun doing so!  It's also neat hearing (or reading) that you worked on "I'm No Fool" and "Our Friend The Atom"!!!  Great stuff!

I've been a loyal follower of this website for a number of years now. This was the first article that forced me to register just so I could say "WOW!!! a Terrific article"!

Thanks so much for sharing a bit of your history Mr. Norman

Floyd is a wonderful artist and is always very open and willing to talk to and encourage the younger talent.  Im grateful that he has become one of those mentors that he speaks so highly of in this article.

I have to agree with MrTumnus.  I have also lurked for quite awhile and was really moved by Mr. Norman's article.  It really came through that he enjoyed his job, cared for the people he worked with and cares about those he now mentors.  I look forward to reading more of your articles in the future.

Thanx for the time capsule, Floyd. You are a treasure of the animation industry, and we are lucky you share your wealth.
I'm going to suggest that Clay interview you on the Animation Podcast.

Great article, I can't wait until the next one comes along.  Mr. Norman you add a definite sense of style, prose and professionalism to JHM.  Thank you for your time and energy.

Whoa! That was a very pleasing article! Cant wait for more! But as for all you 40-year-old guys obsessed with Disney who are fighting over stupid company whereabouts, shut up, go feed your family. Or get one, but seriously, get a life. Disney made alot of money, whoppiii! Seriuosly, I'm glad for them. Jim Hill does write negatively sometimes, but he doesn't hide the truth, he doesn't sugarcoat things. And like I said, Get a life...

P.S. Whatever happened to the early morning article on "pirates" box office?

Thumbs up, Floyd. ;)

Once again, Floyd knocks it out of the park with a great article. Perhaps his best yet. Floyd should really write a book about his early years at Disney. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
