Disney animation legend Floyd Norman on a lifetime of make-believe and mischief
GlobeAlert Desk · curated from CBS News · global
For 70 years, Floyd Norman brought drawings to life, animating some of Disney's most beloved stories, like "The Jungle Book" and "Mulan." And even after he was asked to retire, the first Black animator at Disney kept showing up at the office, mentoring and advising young animators. Correspondent Faith Salie talks with Norman (honored this weekend with a lifetime achievement Oscar) about a career marked by optimism, magic, and a wicked sense of humor.
