Burny Mattinson’s Storied Career as a Disney Animator

Among Mattinson’s accomplishments were his position as producer and co-director on the film The Great Mouse Detective, as well as his solo directorial credit on the featurette Mickey’s Christmas Carol (1983), which brought Mickey Mouse back to the big screen for the first time in 30 years (1986).

He also contributed as an artist to such classics as Big Hero 6 (2014), Strange World (2022), The Sword in the Stone (1963), The Jungle Book (1967), The Rescuers (1977), Lady and the Tramp (1955), One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), The Sword in the Stone (1963), Pocahontas (1995), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Tarzan (1997), and Mulan (1998). He was also a key member of the story

Burnett Mattinson was born in San Francisco on May 13, 1935, the first of his two children. Before he was six, he saw Disney’s Pinocchio, and ever since, “working in this profession was my goal,” he recounted. So I drew and worked every day.

In 1945, his father, who played drums in Horace Heidt’s Big Band, relocated the family to Los Angeles. He started creating cartoons in the Disney style around the age of 12.

His mother dropped him off at the Disney studio gate in Burbank after high school. When the guard saw Mattinson’s portfolio and decided to let him in, he landed an interview and a position in the mailroom. Without any professional art background, he began working as an in-betweener on Lady and the Tramp six months later.

For Sleeping Beauty, he was elevated to the position of assistant animator under Marc Davis, and he remained in that position for One Hundred and One Dalmatians. When that movie was finished, he had a 12-year relationship with animator Eric Larson, working on films including The Sword in the Stone, Mary Poppins (1964), The Jungle Book, and The Aristocats (1970).

After finishing an eight-week internal training course, Mattinson worked with animator Ollie Johnston as an animator on Robin Hood (1973) and a key animator on Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, Too (1974).

After seeing Mattinson’s thumbnail sketches, animator Frank Thomas requested him to assist with The Rescuers storyboards. As near to direction as you can get, according to Mattinson, are storyboards. “You’re essentially constructing a blueprint for the picture,” the actor said. “You’re instructing cameras where to go, what’s occurring onscreen, where to cut.”

Mattinson wrote to Ron Miller, the head of the studio at the time, asking for a movie concept after listening to a Disneyland Records Christmas CD. He was taken aback when tasked with helming Mickey’s Christmas Carol, which prompted him to contribute to The Great Mouse Detective.

In 2008, Mattinson was recognized as a Disney Legend. On March 5, 2018, he surpassed Disney artist and Imagineer John Hench’s record of 64 years, 8 months, and 29 days to achieve the cast member longevity record.

His wife Ellen, son Brett, Kelly, and their two kids, as well as daughter Genny, Larry, and their two kids are all survivors.
