The Walt Disney Company has been around for just over 100 years, and they’ve achieved a lot during that time.

The company’s first feature film was Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, which quickly branched out into multiple other feature films, TV series, characters, and more. Some Cast Members in the Disney Company are actually Disney Historians, and they get to handle the most precious cargo from the archives. Well, once you meet this Disney Historian, you may have grandparent envy because this Cast Member is SO cool!
Fox Carney is the Manager of Research at the Walt Disney Animation Research Library. He shows us, the regular people of the world, a look inside the Disney Animation vaults to teach us a little history about Walt Disney Animation. In Disney Animation’s latest video, Carney shows us some of the artwork from Sleeping Beauty by Eyvind Earle.
The thing is, everyone online seems to LOVE Fox Carney, including us! We love his passion for Disney and Disney history, and we wholeheartedly agree with some of the comments on the Instagram video saying that this man needs his own Disney+ show!
