Ernest Nordli (June 15 1912 - April 22 1968) was an American animation designer and layout artist, most notably for Disney. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah to Norwegian immigrant Hans Magnus Nordli (1884-1975) and Hedvig Charlotte Esterblom (1888-1976) of Swedish parentage. Nordli, nicknamed "Ernie", was a talented artist whose work had an appealing modern sensibility. He started at Disney in 1936 and served as an art director/layout artist on ''Dumbo'' and ''Fantasia'', and worked on many of the studio's shorts through the mid-1940s, including such Donald Duck shorts as ''The Plastics Inventor'' and ''Donald's Double Trouble''. He left Disney and in the 1950s became the layout artist for Chuck Jones, in the absence of Maurice Noble. He was the layout man on eight Jones shorts, including some memorable films like ''Broom-Stick Bunny'' and ''Rocket-bye Baby'' (both 1956). After his short stint with Jones, Nordli returned to Disney where he worked on ''Sleeping Beauty'' and ''One Hundred and One Dalmatians'', on which he was a layout stylist. He played an important role in designing the background drawing style on ''Dalmatians''. Nordli continued working until his death. His later credits include ''The Alvin Show'', ''Gay Purr-ee'' (1962), ''Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!'' (1964), ''The Man from Button Willow'' (1965) and the show ''Johnny Cypher in Dimension Zero''. Nordli also designed many comic book covers for Dell in the early-1950s. He died in April 1968 in San Francisco, California, aged 55. Fellow layout artist Walt Peregoy said that he committed suicide. 〔http://www.cartoonbrew.com/disney/disneys-crankiest-veteran-is-still-cranky-and-thinks-walt-disney-was-a-shit-79791.html〕 ==External links== * *(Biography at Cartoon Modern ), February 15, 2006 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ernie Nordli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
