The elderly gentleman was Frank Thomas, who is one of the original Disney animators. My impression was that he quite liked computer animation, but that it was best left to the "youngsters".

He was very complementary of John Lasseter in this regard. -- Michael Chmilar, University of Calgary, ..!{ihnp4,seismo!mnetor}!alberta!calgary!chmilar "What's your sign?" | "Strive for "It depends on my angle!" | vertical!"
