Back in November, legendary animator Floyd Norman visited our offices in New York before being inducted into the Society of Illustrators's Hall of Fame. During his delightful visit to our films closet, Norman shared stories from his trailblazing career-including making history as the first Black animator to be hired by Disney-as well as memorable movie watching experiences with classics such as Hitchcock's REBECCA and his love for screwball comedies like MY MAN GODREY.
You can watch Michael Fiore and Erik Sharkey's charming documentary FLOYD NORMAN: AN ANIMATED LIFE (2016) on the Criterion Channel, and shop Floyd's Closet Picks on criterion.com! www.criterion.com/shop/collec...

When Floyd Norman says he worked for Disney, he doesn't just mean the company, he worked for Walt Disney himself, while he was still running the studio. A living link to classic Hollywood.

@speedracer2008 Год назад

Yep. He worked at Disney during the production of The Jungle Book (1967). It was Walt Disney's final animated film. He sadly passed away 10 months before its release on December 15, 1966, at the age of 65.

@maciek8159 Год назад

@@speedracer2008 Yes, because Walt Disney was known to be such a great guy. He was especially fond of Jews if I remember correctly.

@benfisher1376 5 месяцев назад

@maciek8159 He was , the Sherman brothers loved him. Anymore rumours you want to believe that are unfounded? 😊

@CAP198462 День назад

He loved his animators. Never outed them to HUAC if they dared breathe the word “Union”. Oh wait.

@dougtarnovean Год назад

The man is 87 years old. He doesn’t look a day over 70. Fascinating story teller too.

@GfSavages Год назад

It's wonderful when older film legend can go into the closet. Nothing against the young talents, but there's so much history people like this have to offer and it makes their explanations so incredibly fascinating.

@eraofthecapybara2884 Год назад

I think replacing the normal titles with the file name is a good idea.

@johnk5398 Год назад

Floyd Norman is an absolute legend. He was specifically promoted by Walt Disney himself as the first black animator. He has always been an amazing storyteller as well, was so excited to see this video pop up!

@flrnce Год назад

File name title goes so incredibly hard

@excelsiormusicreviews Год назад

Wow, Floyd Norman is 87 and is extremely sharp minded!

@shawnmartin7500 Год назад

We need more people like Floyd back in show business...you know, people who actually have a passion for it and aren't just out to destroy it.

@postmodernrecycler Год назад

Can't recall if _Rebecca_ has ever gotten love here before, but I smiled that he picked it up, and neat anecdote about his friend's 35mm print & projector.

@Cobralalalala Год назад

Floyd is an amazing artist. He posts almost daily on Facebook and it's always wonderful.

"It tells its story, tells it well and then the film ends, as films should do. When you've told your story, done" Genius, I wish more directors would do that.))

@nationalcoasternews5798 Год назад

One of the most wholesome closet vids I’ve seen!

@freddo721619 Год назад

I want to sit and listen to this man talk for hours. Master class needs his number. :)

An amazingly talented and eloquent man. I love when the closet guests have their own stories to tell.

@shaunwerndley6799 Год назад

Great pickups Floyd. It’s great to hear these incredible stories attached to your choices 😎

@Jonathanest90s Год назад

I actually met Floyd Norman twice a few months ago at D23 Expo and LightBox Expo. He’s was pretty chill and a amazing artist. Definitely would want to buy more of his artwork if I were you guys in the comment section.

@tbwatch88 Год назад

what a great old gent is he. would love to run into him somewhere and talk shop.

@JT_1998 Год назад

Funny how I just recently heard of the documentary about his animation career, and this pops up lol. Lovely coincidence.

I know Floyd wasn't working at Disney then, but I've always thought the Stepmother in Cinderella was strongly inspired by Mrs. Danvers in Rebecca;

What a character. In addition to being an extremely talented artist, I just adore Floyd Norman’s cadence. He oozes quirky authenticity.

I wish you guys would pick up the camera and follow the person in the video like in the old videos, this new static camera angle makes these videos bland and extremely boring.
