Frank & Ollie

                                        'The Friendship that changed the face of Animation'.

Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston were two core animators at Walt Disney Productions, who were involved in some of Disney's most famous works. The last two of Disney's 'Nine Old men' to pass away, they had animated a large amount of well known characters from many films. Frank and Ollie do cameos in both of Brad Bird's films 'The Iron Giant' and 'The Incredibles', this was Bird's tribute to the two of them and Disney's Nine Old Men.

At the end of 'The Incredibles' film, Frank and Ollie appear watching the heroic acts of The Incredibles.
Frank: Hey you see that? That's old school. That's the way you do it.
Ollie: No school like the old school.
Frank animated the famous Spaghetti scene from 'The Lady and the Tramp', while Ollie animated 'Lady' throughout most of the film.
