Floyd Norman will receive an honorary Oscar. From Cartoon Brew:
Norman, 90, became the first Black artist hired on a long-term basis at Walt Disney Studios in 1956. During his initial run at the studio, he worked on features including Sleeping Beauty, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, The Sword in the Stone, and The Jungle Book, where he was part of Walt Disney’s story team.
I’ve blogged about Floyd a couple of times over the years. I just noticed that his blog is now showing up as “expired” on Squarespace. This is why on Micro.blog when you stop paying, we keep hosting your blog indefinitely.
