Clay Kaytis’ new animation audio blog The Animation Podcast has broken the news that legendary Disney storyman Joe Grant has passed away earlier today (Friday). With a career spanning from the 1930s all the way into our new millenium, Joe’s imprint can be felt in many productions from the indisputable classics Snow White and Dumbo down to the recently Oscar-nominated short Lorenzo (original link via Animation Nation).
