And then there were none.
Legendary Walt Disney animator Ollie Johnston , the last of Uncle Walt's band of pioneering cartoon geniuses known as the Nine Old Men, died Monday of natural causes at a long-term care facility in Sequim, Wash.
Over his four-decade career, Johnston worked on such classics as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Cinderella , Peter Pan, The Jungle Book, Lady and the Tramp, Alice in Wonderland and Mary Poppins.
He also authored several authoritative books documenting the Mouse House's masterworks.
Johnston was 95.
