As one of Disney's Nine Old Men, Milt Kahl is known as an animation legend. He specialized in human and animal animation because he did what others didn't want to do.
He joined the Walt Disney Company in 1934, and started animating in Snow White. Some of his more well known characters include Tigger from Winne the Pooh, Shere Kahn from The Jungle Book, and The Sheriff of Nottingham from Robin Hood.
In the 1970's, he trained Brad Bird, director of The Incredibles, and Ratatouille. Even after his death in 1987, his influence lives on in one of the most prevalent animators and animation directors of the current era.
