John "Jack" Miller - my 273rd pick to be named a Disney Legend

Animator and writer John "Jack" Miller is my 273rd choice to be named a Disney Legend.

He is known for his work on Dumbo (1941), Pinocchio (1940) and Fantasia (1940). Miller could draw and sculpt. Although he only worked for Disney for 8 years, in that time he created the character designs that were used in ‘Pinocchio’, ‘Dumbo’ and ‘Peter Pan’. Another artist who was never fully satisfied with his art but the sheer movement in his work tends to show remarkable talent.
