Let’s take a look at the life of Disney’s first Black animator Floyd Norman who is still animating today!

This week I decided to talk about and highlight Disney Legend Floyd Norman. Floyd is the first Black animator to be hired by Disney, and not only did he have a hand in creating so many iconic Disney films from Sleeping Beauty to Toy Story 2 to Monsters Inc. but he was working with Walt Disney himself on Walt’s final film, The Jungle Book as a hand picked storyboard artist.

Floyd is an inspiring all around human being who preaches to reach for you goals no matter what, goes against the grain, and always makes the people around him laugh. It was an honour to learn more about him and I hope you enjoy it as well!

PS. Floyd - if you see this, please check your emails I am DYING to have a chat with you!
