Disney Animator - Ollie Johnston

Disney's Ollie Johnston was one of the nine old men of Disney animation. He was with Walt from the early days of the studio and made his impression on the world of animation. Unfortunately he passed away in the last year or so. He will be missed but some of his favorite pastimes are still with us on video. Here is some very rare footage from his backyard railroad in La Canada. After his death his family donated the little train station that he had in his backyard to the Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad museum in Griffith Park, CA where it can be seen one Sunday a month by the general public.
