Floyd Norman is an official Disney Legend, and so much more: Walt Disneyâs first full-time African-American animator, a contributor to such films as Sleeping Beauty and The Jungle Book, a disciple of Disneyâs legendary Nine Old Men, and a story man on such Pixar features as Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc. Whatâs more, as Leonard and Jessie have learned, heâs a naturally funny man, a great storyteller, and a sweetheart of a guy with an irreverent sense of humor. Heâs even the subject of a first-class documentary called Floyd Norman: An Animated Life. Tune in for some great anecdotes and first-hand memories of Walt Disney.
