Ward Kimball posing with a Marquette sculpture of Lampwick from Pinocchio, he didn’t animate any of him, Fred Moore did all of his scenes except when he’s a full donkey.

I wrote an article about the mad genius that is Ward Kimball. The mastermind behind much of the wackiness in Disney films like The Three Caballeros and Alice in Wonderland as well as short films like Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom ejunkieblog.com/2023/06/15/war…

🛑 A new low in the animation art forgery business: Forged gag drawings. A LOT of vintage animation art sold at auction nowadays is forged and fake - BUYER BEWARE! 🛑

Happy 111th birthday to iconoclast Disney director and animator Ward Kimball, who was born on this day in 1914. We're excited to announce that a new biography about his life and work will be published in 2026. cartoonbrew.com/books/new-biog…

Add in a touch of Ward Kimball goofiness and you have a classic episode that is SO much fun to watch!! This episode would be re-edited and shown in theatres and would earn an Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Subject!

Excellente animation relâchée venant du Jour du Jugement de Pluto (apparemment par Ward Kimball) et son pencil test à droite sans raison autre que nous rappeler que des humains sont derrière les animations que nous adulons, pas des machines.

I love model sheets of animators. Here's one of Disney animator Ward Kimball, which I believe was drawn by his assistant animator Tom Oreb.

This letter will make even more sense after you read Amid Amidi's upcoming biography of Ward Kimball. Ward had a rich and complex life that will surprise a lot of people, especially those who are already familiar with his career.
