Burny Mattinson worked at Walt Disney Animation Studios for 70 years.
Walt Disney Animation Studios is turning 100, and they're celebrating with Once Upon s Studio, a new short film that is debuting tonight on ABC during a special celebration. The film sees the return of 543 characters from more than 85 Disney feature-length and short films, but animated favorites aren't the only ones you can spot onscreen.
"And he is got a presence around the studio," Correy added."When you see him walking down the halls, you're like, 'That guy directed Mickey's Christmas Carol and worked on Sleeping Beauty.' It kind of blows your mind a little bit. And then when you meet him, he lived up to every hype. He's just sweet and nice and generous and a mentor in the studio. He worked right until the very end there.
"That was an amazing day," Correy shared."Dan texted me the night before and said, 'Tuck your shirt in, buddy, wear something nice.' Because meeting Richard Sherman, he's a legend. And at 94 years young, he played 'Feed the Birds' for us. And it was a magical day."
