Sears, Ted (d. 1958) - Joining the Disney company in 1931, Ted Sears became one of the prime storymen, with his specialties being personality and character. When an animation manual was written for the animators in the mid-1930s, it was Ted who wrote introductory analyses of the standard characters. He received story credit on almost every Disney feature from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" to "Sleeping Beauty."
