Rating:  - Wonderful!
This is a candid look into the lives of 2 of the greatest animators to grace the hallowed halls of the Walt Disney Studios. A great biographical piece of Disney history.
Rating: - sweet video
The video show a little bit of Frank and Ollie friendship. It does have more to do with their personal life than animation aspects. But overall is a very sweet video with a good message.
Rating: - Great for anyone interested in animation
If you've got an interest in animation history, this DVD is for you. It is a chronicle of the lives of Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, best friends of fifty years and two of Disney's fabled Nine Old Men. It's a heartwarming story of a lifelong friendship and a glance into the minds of some of the medium's most brilliant pioneers. Pick it up while you still can! You won't regret it.

Rating: - Frank and Ollie
This is an absolute must for all Disney fans. Very few people will ever meet the people who were actually there and actively involved in the early years of the Disney Company. On top of the stuff mentioned in the older reviews there are two things that brought tears to my eyes. First is Ollie's interest in trains. Ollie along with animator Ward Kimball played key rolls in re-igniting Walt Disney's interest in trains, which as you probably already know was a foundation of Disneyland. The other thing was Franks longtime membership in the famed jazz band, The Firehouse Five Plus Two who played regularly at Disneyland. All seven members of the band were Disney animators. That was what was so fun regarding that band. One could go to Disneyland in the 1950s and 1960s and hear them on the weekends, then as one walked around the park you could see the characters, all of whom the band members played a roll in creating! You will treasure this DVD.
