Eric Cleworth isn’t a familiar name to all fans of Disney yet he is one of the best action animators ever with a great flair for movement. He started at Disney in 1939 and stayed until his retirement around 1970. Cleworth is one of the most underrated Disney animators and he was part of the B-Wing, the animation wing that wasn’t as glamorous as the more famous D-Wing but said by many to be equally talented.

Great you like Eric Cleworth! However, the picture is of Hal King (who actually shared room 1F-4 with Cleworth in the spring of 1941!)
