Ward Kimball

Ward Kimball was an eccentric Walt Disney animation artist who had a passion for trains, so much so that he bought himself a real one with tracks and all. He is the man responsible for fleshing out famous Disney icons for the company, heralded by Disney himself as a true genius. Cartoon Brew, home site of Jerry Beck the animation commentary expert has some of Ward’s character designs. An interesting body of work and Ward has his own My Space homage site with the drawings and thoughts from Ward himself. A true testimony of a great artist, the likes of which we do not see today.
