"BURBANK, Calif., May 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Joe Grant, a trusted member of Walt Disney's inner circle, one of the most extraordinary artists and storymen to ever work at The Walt Disney Studios, and the man who designed the Queen/Witch character in "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," served as co-story director on "Fantasia," co-wrote "Dumbo," and conceived "Lady and the Tramp," passed away on Friday May 6th at his home in Glendale, California. He was 96 years old."I just read about it today and have yet to see anything about him via blogs, but this guy diserves props, his evil Queen from Snow White was a bitter bitch and we loved it. Dumbo still makes cry. Fantasia still feels like an mushroom trip and who didn't love Lady and the Tramp?
