Ollie Johnston(1912-2008)

He was especially proud of his work on "Bambi", because it showed that animation could bring strong emotional responses from the audience, just as well as a live-action drama.

(explaining why he decided to go into animation instead of magazine illustration) I wanted to paint pictures full of emotion that would make people want to read the [magazine] stories. But I found that here [animation] was something that was full of life and movement and action, and it showed all those feelings.
