Among last week posts on this blog was one by Ken Priebe, that links to two very nice short interviews with former Disney artists: one with Bill Matthews and one with Ken Southworth. I love the three stories told by Ken about his experience at the Disney Studio, especially this one, involving Ward Kimball - who else?

"Ward Kimball, who as a top animator, had his own room, was gazing out the window one rainy day (it does rain in California), when the door opened behind him. After a suitable pause, he turned, and there was WALT! Never at a loss, Ward just said in a hearty voice, "Just studying effects, Walt, just studying effects!" I imagine Walt had a good laugh!"
