Howard Swift made his mark by animating some unforgettable scenes: the ostriches dancing in the Dance of the Hours sequence in Fantasia and of course animating half of the one and only Pink Elephants on Parade sequence in Dumbo. Just as he was growing into his own as an animator the strike of’41 happened and he left the studios. He is my 319th pick to be named a Disney Legend.
His work with Disney includes:
Pinocchio- Animator on Geppetto (uncredited)
Fantasia- Animator on the ostriches in the Dance of the Hours
Dumbo- Animator on the Ringmaster(including Parade scene and the part
where he says”Duuummmboooo…I got it! I got it!) and all of the second
half of Pink Elephants.
