I remember the day after this article appeared in the New York Times (almost 30 years ago), several colleagues at the studio pointed out to me what a big deal it was to be published "above the fold". I had never heard the term.
Having your photo at the top of the page was a major deal. Following the massive success of The Lion King, Disney animators had become crucial company assets, sparking intense media and public interest in the artists behind the animated hit films.
As I mentioned numerous times before, it was a tremendous honor to be a part of Disney Animation during the Renaissance era. As animators we were respected and celebrated, and we all appreciated this very much.
