"Now that's doing it old school". Indeed.


One thing I miss about living in Colorado is the active ASIFA Denver chapter. Really no one down here in oil country to talk to about such things, and I've given up after the third "Ollie who?" response.

Of course, if you're one of those in the know, great treats in both "The Incredibles" and "Iron Giant" (Both Brad Bird films) were the cameos of Ollie Johnston and his lifelong friend Frank Thomas. In the Iron Giant they were the crew of the wrecked train, a tribute to Ollie's long fascination with railroading. In "The Incredibles", well, read the title bar.

The last of Disney's "Nine Old Men" have followed Walt home.
