For those of you who are not familiar with Ward Kimball, is a short bio: Ward Walrath Kimball (March 4, 1914 âe" July 8, 2002) was an Academy Award-winning animator for the Walt Disney Studios. He was one of Walt Disney's team of animators known as Disney's Nine Old Men. While t were many talented anmators at Disney, Ward's efforts stand out as especially unique, even within the Disney organization. Kimball created several classic Disney characters including the Crows in Dumbo; Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland; the Mice and Lucifer the Cat from Cinderella; and Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio. He also animated the famous "Three Caballeros" musical number from the Disney film of the same name. Kimball also produced two editions of a volume titled Art Afterpieces, in which he revised various well-known works of art, such as putting Mona Lisa's hair up in curlers. Kimball was also a jazz trombonist. He founded and led the seven-piece Dixieland band Firehouse Five Plus Two, in which he played trombone. The band made at least 13 LP records and toured clubs, college campuses and jazz festivals from the 1940s to early 1970s. In 2005, the Disneyland Railroad named their newly-acquired Engine â,,-5 the "Ward Kimball" in his memory. One of a bunch of great lots I have listed - go see them all!
