Riley A. Thomson, Jr. (October 5, 1912 – January 26, 1960) was an American animator and comics artist who spent most of his career working with Walt Disney films and characters. He directed six Disney short films including ''The Nifty Nineties'' and ''Symphony Hour''. ==Career== Thomson began his career in 1935 at Leon Schlesinger Productions (Warner Bros.) as an animator. While there he worked on ''Merrie Melodies'' cartoons and focused on the character Porky Pig. The following year Thomson went to work at Walt Disney Productions. He was first an animator and worked on ''Mickey Mouse'', ''Silly Symphonies'', and ''Donald Duck'' short films. He also worked on the feature length film ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' (1937) and the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment of ''Fantasia'' (1940). After working on ''Fantasia'' Thomson moved to the story department where he became a writer and director. He directed the short films ''Put-Put Troubles'' (1940), ''The Little Whirlwind'' (1941), ''The Nifty Nineties'', the remake of ''Orphans' Benefit'', ''Mickey's Birthday Party'' (1942), and ''Symphony Hour''. He also received story credits for ''They're Off'' (1948) and ''Dude Duck'' (1951). (The latter misspells his surname as "Thompson.") In 1950, Thomson moved into the field of comics. He worked for Western Publishing from 1950 to 1953 drawing for several different comic books. His work mainly included Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, Chip 'n' Dale, Grandma Duck, and Jaq & Gus. He also drew Woody Woodpecker comics. Throughout the 1950s Thomson drew comic strips for the Disney Studios including the Uncle Remus Sunday page (based on the 1946 film ''Song of the South'') and the ''Mickey Mouse'' daily newspaper strip. Thomson returned to animation in 1957 and worked for Walter Lantz Productions until 1959. 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「Riley Thomson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
