Tyrus Wong, Pioneer Bambi Artist, Dies at 106
Tyrus Wong, whose paintings served as visual inspiration for Disney's animated classic 'Bamb',? died Friday, Dec. 30. He was 106.
Wong?s death was announced on his Facebook page.
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Tyrus Wong, the post read. Tyrus died peacefully at his home surrounded by his loving daughters Kim, Kay and Tai-Ling. He was 106 years old.?
Wong was born in China before immigrating to the Bay Area at age 9. From there he went to art school on a scholarship followed by accepting a low-level animation job in 1938. After hearing about Walt Disney's Bambi project he put together some paintings of deer in a forest, which impressed Disney enough to use them as inspiration for the film. The animated classic isn't all Wong is known for though, he's also worked on film's like Rebel Without a Cause, The Green Berets, and ?The Wild Bunch.?
In 2001, Wong was named a Disney Legend, and in 2013 he had his artwork featured in the Walt Disney Family Museum. In October of this year Wong received two honors at the Asian World Film Festival. He was awarded with a lifetime achievement award on the opening day with the following day (his 106th birthday) being the screening of the documentary about him titled Tyrus directed by Pam Tom.
Wong is survived by his daughters Kim, Kay and Tai-Ling.
