Lawrence Tibbett by Ham Luske
Ham Luske (1903-1968) started working for Walt Disney in 1931, and soon became one of Walt's key animators, alongside Norm Ferguson and Fred Moore. He animated Max Hare in the 1935 short "The Tortoise and the Hare," and Jenny Wren in "Who Killed Cock Robin?" He also served as supervising co-director on "Pinocchio" and sequence director on "Fantasia," "Cinderella," "Alice in Wonderland," "Peter Pan," "Lady and the Tramp," "101 Dalmatians" and the cartoon sequences featured in "Mary Poppins." Later he directed TV programs for Walt Disney Productions.
Ham drew this cartoon of Lawrence Tibbett in the early 1930s....

[Of course, Ham also was crucially important on Snow White, where he shared the title character with Grim Natwick.
I also have a stack of cleanups from his animation on Broken Toys, with half of the drawings initialled MK as in Milt Kahl, the other half OJ as in Ollie Johnston...]

Hi Hans,
You omitted Luske's greatest claim to fame possibly with his animation of Snow White.
