Obituary
Ken Anderson; Disney Artist and Architect
December 18, 1993
Ken Anderson, the veteran Walt Disney animator and builder who put a wiggle in the ears of one of the seven dwarfs and designed the house they lived in with Snow White, is dead.
A spokesman for the Burbank-based Disney Studios said Anderson was 84 when he died Monday at a La Canada Flintridge hospital.
A rare combination of artist, architect, story man and designer, Anderson--in a 44-year association with Disney--was art director for "Pinocchio," "Fantasia," "Song of the South" and other feature films, while also helping design the Disney theme parks.
Anderson earned an architecture degree in Europe before becoming a sketch artist at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He went to work for the Disney Studios in 1934, working on the early "Silly Symphony" cartoons. His first feature assignment was as art director for "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," for which he built scale models of the dwarfs' cottage to help animators visualize the settings.
He also was credited with the wiggle in Dopey's ears.
Walt Disney chose him as one of the original designers of Disneyland, where he did the early work on "Snow White's Adventure," "Peter Pan's Flight," "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" and more.
His wife, Polly, and three daughters have scheduled a viewing from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Pierce Bros., 1218 Glendon Ave., Los Angeles.
