Years ago, I met Ollie and Frank as they were talking about emotions and character development. The discussion ensued and it was evident that we were speaking about real personalities and lives in animation. Animation comes from the Latin word "anima", meaning the spirit of. The spirit and soul of their animated creations is not "make-believe" but genuine. The ability to breathe life into one dimensional papyrus and graphite is a gift of the visionaries. As time brushes the last of the artist's pencil dust to the four corners of the universe, let us relive each day knowing Ollie was an able man that knew how to touch our souls with his love and inspiration.

Perfect tribute Rhett.. Thank you.

Ollie has been missed dearly from the time he left California. He was a good friend to the CPHS, and a good friend to many. We're all glad we'll be able to enjoy his legacy through his films for years to come.
