"He's like the Forrest Gump of animation." This isn't a brand new documentary, but it's still worth watching if you've never seen it. We originally featured the very first trailer for Floyd Norman: An Animated Life back in 2016, after the film premiered at a few film festivals. TCM (Turner Classic Movies) has been offering the documentary as part of their streaming / VOD selection this month (it expires today, unfortunately). The documentary film is about Disney legend Floyd Norman, the first African-American animator at Disney. Described as: "Animator. Storyman. Troublemaker." After working there for almost all of his life, he was told by Disney to retire, but has refused to do so and keeps on working with the mantra that he'll "die at the drawing board." Floyd has worked on Disney classics like Sleeping Beauty and The Jungle Book and even worked at Pixar on Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc. We're posting this trailer again four years later, because why not - let's bring some extra attention to great films about great storytellers that shouldn't be forgotten. ›››
