DISNEY LEGEND

TONY ANSELMO


Tony Anselmo was inspired by the first movie he saw, Mary Poppins. As a boy, he began drawing and making animated films using his Super 8 camera. His portfolio of drawings earned Tony a full Scholarship from the Disney Family to California Institute of the Arts, Walt Disney's fabled art school that cultivated many successful Disney artists. The Character Animation at CalArts was headed by Jack Hannah, the director of the Donald Duck shorts unit under Walt Disney. After his second year at CalArts Tony was selected to transfer to The Disney Studios Animation department under Eric Larson, one of Walt's "9 Old Men". As an animator, Tony worked on over 20 traditionally animated Disney features from The Little Mermaid, to Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. It was Tony's apprenticeship with Clarence Nash, the original voice of Donald Duck, which led to Tony’s second career at Disney behind the microphone as Donald’s voice. On Clarence's passing in 1985, Tony became the only other person to officially voice Donald Duck. Tony was the first person to both animate and voice Donald Duck for the 50th annual Academy Awards, Prince and the Pauper, and The Three Musketeers. Tony continues to delight audiences with Donald’s antics on Mickey Mouse Funhouse, Kingdom Hearts, Disney park shows, attractions, and consumer products. Tony is known for his comprehensive collection of original movie posters from each of Walt Disney's films. This expertise resulted in the 2002 art book, The Disney Poster Book featuring the Collection of Tony Anselmo. In 2009 Tony Anselmo was named a Disney Legend by Roy E. Disney.
