http://www.animationscoop.com/don-lusk-1913-2018/
Disney Legend Don Lusk has passed away today at age 105 reported by his dear friend Navah Paskowitz-Asner (Ed Asners wife) on her Facebook page this morning. Lusk was hired by The Walt Disney Company in 1933 and he became an animator in 1938 on Ferdinand The Bull. His animation graced key scenes in Bambi, Song of the South, Cinderella, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty and One Hundred and One Dalmatians. He is best known for his work on the Fish Dance in The Nutcracker Suite in Fantasia, Cleo the goldfish in Pinocchio, the title character in Alice in Wonderland and Wendy in Peter Pan.
Lusk left Disney in 1960, but continued to work as an animator during the 1960s and 1970s, on UPAs Gay Purr-ee (1962), A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969), and freelanced for Bill Melendez and Walter Lantz studios. He spent 23 years at Hanna-Barbera, directing everything from Scooby Doo to Yo Yogi!, working well into the 1990s.

What a legacy during my lifetime, beginning with Pinocchio and then bringing Charlie Brown to life. An unseen hero that brought joy to many millions.
A salute to you and your art, sir!........ .............
