Ollie passed away on April 14, 2008, thank you is all I can say. Who is Frank Thomas?Frank Thomas has had a long and distinguished career with Disney. He is credited with animating Thumper and Bambi on the ice in Bambi (1942), Lady and Tramp eating a romantic spaghetti dinner in Lady and the Tramp (1954), and Mad Madam Mim in the Sword in the Stone (1963).

Child Star Donnie Dunagan He retains memories of special events, personalities and even street numbers from 1939-42βa talent which Donnie himself admits is "a bit scary"! His favorites among his own movies are Bambi, the animated Disney classic for which he provided the voice of the title character, and the horror film Son of Frankenstein, in which his character befriends the Frankenstein Monster (Boris Karloff). His final film, and the one he loves most deer-ly, was Bambi. Because of Donnieβs large and bright brown eyes, he was selected by Mr. Disney to be the facial model for the Disney artists who would be handling the baby deerβs expressions. This evolved into doing the voice work for the young Bambi. When Donnie finished up on this movie in 1940, he left the lot and, as it turned out, the business of being a child actor; Bambi was his final credit. A lifetime later, however, he returned to work for the Disney Studios as an on-camera interviewee, adding his unique perspective to the bonus materials for the new deluxe DVD edition of Bambi. With the 65-year interval between the making of the original Bambi and his participation on the DVD, Donnie probably holds the record for the longest-awaited show business comeback of any entertainer in the world!
