He's been working as an animator, story artist, and supervisor for the past thirty-five years.
Trained in art and motion pictures at UCLA, Randy submitted multiple portfolios to Disney veteran Eric Larson before being hired by the studio in July 1975. During his first week on the lot, he was invited by supervising animator John Lounsbery to view a rough cut of The Rescuers, and ended up working on it as Ollie Johnston's assistant. When Ollie retired, it was a couple of quick steps to the position of supervising animator.

Nice! Love to hear from the old Disney animators. Keep em' coming.
I never thought the day would come when Randy Cartwright would be referred to as an "old Disney animator."
You live long enough, you become a seasoned veteran.
(All relative.)
Call me, Mr. Norman. I long for the sound of your voice.
Heh, and I really only knew about Randy for his student film "Room & Board" which I saw a long time ago from the VHS tape to "Fantastic Animation Festival".
Randy Cartwright, one of the GREAT heroes of animation! WHOO HOOO!!!!!
More Randy tomorrow.
That just might be too much information Steve...
Poor don bluth. What a kook. No wonder he's not so fondly remembered. Jim Jones had NOTHING on his cultish personality. How sad.
