Hello...? It's me, I'm back! I'm pretty nervous to send this one out but it was a fun way to come back to the channel with purpose. Keep your eyes peeled because there will be more videos coming (in the air tonight hehe). Thanks to every single person who has commented encouraging me to return. Phil Collins really did go so hard for this soundtrack though, right?

But it's 2019, and I'm back to the chronology with which I started in 2016. Enjoy some praise for the animation geniuses, Walt's Nine Old Men. In my opinion, honorary members of the Nine Old Men not included in this essay are Norm Ferguson and Ken Anderson (tenth and eleventh old men).
