It was a really weird, roundabout trail that led me back to bowing to the greatness of Disney's big 9. I had just finished reading Blue Pills by Frederick Peeters (which is very excellent and highly recommended) and was researching European comics. 
I was remembering the awesomeness of Vampire Loves (the English name), and thought the same artist from that book also worked on Aya (alas it was not true). A semi-related link in a Google search led to an amateur artist's website who mentioned the recent passing away of Ollie Johnston. And now here we are poring over samples of their work and remembering the many films they all had a hand in; ranging from Pinocchio to The Rescuers. IMHO, these guys are the definition of classic animation.
