FRANK THOMAS DIED...
With the deepest regret members of ŠAF have received a sad news that Frank Thomas died on 8th of September.
Frank Thomas has had a long and distinguished career with Disney.
He was animating Thumper and Bambi on the ice in Bambi (1942), Lady
and Tramp eating a romantic spaghetti dinner in Lady and the Tramp
(1954), and Mad Madam Mim in the Sword in the Stone (1963).
Together with Ollie Johnston, he was one of the first international
visitor of ŠAF and Čakovec (1982), and many of ŠAF members will
never forget that moments, having opportunity to talk with Frank
and Ollie. For sure that was one of the most memorable happening
in the history of ŠAF and a great stimulus for all of us to continue
our work on animation.
