| User ReviewTristan PFunny and aborbing documentary of animation told through the eyes and lives of two extraordinary animators whose friendship can never be broken. |
| User ReviewJaret JThis movie gave me a lot of information about these two legends and it's in fact one of the beast documentaries done by Disney. |
| User ReviewKeaton BAmazing documentary that shows an honest portrayal of a friendship between two of the last-surviving members of Disney's "Nine Old Men". Rest in Peace, Frank (1912-2004) and Ollie (1912-2008). You guys were my favorite animators. Kudos to Frank's son, Theodore, for bringing this friendship to light. |
| User ReviewChad MAnother one I had a hard time returning. Animation history. Good stuff. |
| User ReviewJason OGreat documentary for anyone interested in Disney animation from the mid 1930's to the 70's. Unfortunately Frank Thomas died a couple of years ago and Ollie is one of our only links left to that era. |
