Disney Family Album | Frank Thomas | Disney Animation | Disney Legend | Walt's Nine Old Men
Originally Aired on the Disney Channel April 1985 (#11 in The Series of 20 Disney Family Albums)
One of Walt’s Nine Old Men, Frank Thomas joined The Walt Disney Company in 1934. Frank animated dozens of feature films and cartoon shorts; in addition to being an animator, Frank was an avid pianist and recruited by Ward Kimball to play the piano for the Firehouse Five Plus Two Dixieland Band. Frank animated some of the most memorable Disney scenes including Lady and the Tramp eating spaghetti, the song “I Wan’na Be Like You” from The Jungle Book, the dwarfs crying over Snow White, and the dancing penguins in Mary Poppins. Frank’s character work included the Wicked Stepmother (in Cinderella), the Queen of Hearts (in Alice in Wonderland), and Captain Hook (in Peter Pan).

How this series is not available on Disney plus is ridiculous
Frank Thomas seems like such a lovely person- he’s so humble, jolly, funny and seems to be the type of person to truly love the little things. Not to mention, his incredible talent! Such an overall stellar human being.
"Frank Thomas loves animation because it pulls together everything he loves about life"
I watched Frank and Ollie a year or so ago. Showed it to my girlfriend some days after and later to my mother-in-law and, each time I saw it, I got more and more aware of each nuance they all brought to the animations.
Frank Thomas was sooooooo handsome!!! 😍
Really glad to see these episodes posted in reasonably good quality . Thank you. I sure wish Disney would pull the original video masters out of the vault and re-master them to true HD resolution (or at least cleaned up SD resolution if the original video tapes are not HD resolution) to show on Disney+ .
Now this is an awesome show. Disney Family Album. I LOVE it!
Frank Thomas made a posthumous cameo in The Incredibles (2004) along with Ollie Johnston (1912-2008).
RIP FRANK Thomas animator of Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Mary Poppins, The Jungle Book, The Rescuers and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Such a talent

God bless Frank Thomas 🌹
I believe that the other movies they worked on were Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Lady and The Tramp, Snow White and the seven dwarfs, The Jungle Book, Mary Poppins, and Pinocchio. This includes Fantasia.
I remembered that this person worked on Cinderella.

I cant help but wonder what Frank and the other nine old men would think of modern animation and CGI today.

I remember this animator. And I believe he worked on the ice skating scene in Bambi. He was an animator on Pinocchio and 101 Dalmatians.
I directed every episode of The Disney Family Album and conducted all the interviews. I'm writing a book about my 20+ year association with Disney, 'Me and The Mouse," which will include lots of stories you've never heard before about Walt Disney, and many of its legends. Some really good stories about Frank and Ollie. Watch this space to get on the mailing list to pre-order the book, which I hope to have in print in 2024.
We definitely find out more about bringing life to connecting with new discoveries characters, and the fire station based animator-filled band from the one and only Frank Thomas.🎯✏🎵🎶🎥☀️ Stay safe everyone!
