Clay Kaytis interviews Burny Mattinson over at his website, The Animation Podcast .  Part 1 of the interview is available as a download from their website.

Burny Mattinson is the only person I know who started working at Disney Animation when Walt was alive, and has been there since. Here’s a SHORT list of films he has worked on: Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, Robin Hood, The Rescuers, Mickey’s Christmas Carol, The Great Mouse Detective, Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Mulan. Burny is a talented draughtsman, animator, illustrator, story man, producer, and director with first-hand stories and insights to share with us from his career which spans over fifty years. In part one, Burny recounts how he came to work at the Walt Disney Studios in the 50s, and eventually worked under many of The Nine Old Men there.

... : a guest I think Burny Mattinson has been my favourite guest so far, while the others have been really, really good, I really like listening to the stories of older people and their lives. June 29, 2006
