Originally Posted By FerretAfros I'm sad to hear this. He made a huge contribution to films (Disney and non-Disney) in a time long before CGI.

I hope that the technique of matte painting doesn't get lost with CGI, but I fear that it may be an amazing art form that will fade away with time. Ellenshaw was a true master of his work and will be missed.

Originally Posted By imadisneygal He was very sweet and quite funny. I only had the chance to meet him once at a breakfast at the Park but to talk to him was truly an honor. What a loss. It's a very sad day.
