      • Trivia
        Doug TenNapel has a collection of over twenty original animation drawings from Disney's Nine Old Men (Les Clark, Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston, Milt Kahl, Ward Kimball, Eric Larson, Wolfgang Reitherman, John Lounsbery and Frank Thomas). He collects the pencil drawings from La Belle au bois dormant (1959), Blanche-Neige et les Sept Nains (1937) and Les Aventures de Peter Pan (1953) because there is a better chance that Marc Davis, Ollie Johnston or Frank Thomas actually touched it.
