Anderson, Ken (1909-1993) - Walt Disney depended on Ken Anderson as one of the key creative designers at the Disney Studio. Having studied architecture in college, he was able to call upon that knowledge to help Walt include innovative perspective shots in films like "Three Orphan Kittens." Later he became one of the Studio's prime character designers, being credited on numerous features as art director or art supervisor. He would create most of the characters in "Robin Hood," for example, as well as Shere Khan and Elliott the dragon. In the 1950s, Walt pulled Ken away from animation for several years to design portions of Fantasyland in Disneyland park.
