Milt Neil is my 213th pick to be named a Disney Legend, Neil,sometimes known as "the Duck Man", was a career character animator. He worked for Disney Studios from 1935 to 1944. He worked on Dumbo, Fantasia, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and The Three Caballeros. He
headed the animation team that won an Academy Award for Der Furher’s
Face (1942), a wartime propaganda film featuring Donald Duck. He was called the Duck Man because he became very adept at drawing Donald Duck.
Milt Neil went on to design practically all the products that came out under the Howdy Doody name.
