Roy E. Disney, the nephew of Walt Disney (and son of Disney co-founder Roy) died today at 79. I've always been a huge Disney fan so to see the last remaining family member involved in the company pass away just after the release of their return to hand-drawn animation is sad. I'm not going to write much about this, but there are two excellent articles regarding his passing that I'll link to instead...

My life's dream was to be a Disney animator. Even though I never reached that dream, it's because of the stuff that Roy helped with in the 80s and 90s that I love Disney today. The world is just a bit less magical now :(
