Disney's Nine Old Men
Ollie Johnston  (October 31, 1912 - April 14, 2008), who joined Disney in 1935, first worked on Snow White. He went on to write the animator's book The Illusion of Life with Frank Thomas. His work included Mr. Smee (in Peter Pan), the Stepsisters (in Cinderella), the District Attorney (in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad), and Prince John (in Robin Hood). The book The Disney Villain, written by Johnston and Frank Thomas, says that Johnston also worked with Thomas on making characters such as Ichabod Crane (in The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad) and Sir Hiss (in Robin Hood).
