a. One of Walt’s Nine Old Men, Ollie Johnston was an animator at the Walt Disney Studio from 1934 to 1978. Ollie contributed to just about all the animation features released during that time. Ollie was the man behind Mr. Smee, the Stepsisters, and Prince John. Like Ward Kimball, Ollie Johnston was a train buff and created a backyard railroad in 1949, leading to Walt’s fascination with model railroads and the creations of his own backyard railroad and the inspiration of the Disneyland Railroad.
