Origins (1966-1971)
To explain the origins to FiddleGriff Animation, we have to go back to December of 1966. When Walt Disney passes away from lung cancer, this took a huge shock on not only the world, but most of Disney's animators since without Walt, they couldn't do anything magical. This lead to Theodore Chrisman and a group of Disney Animators to leave the company in 1968. One day in 1970, during a thanksgiving feast. Therodore Chrisman pitched to his fellow disney friends a new animation studio that would continue the magic that Walt Disney once had. With all this set, FiddleGriff Productions was founded on April 14th, 1971. The Griffin playing the violin logo was designed by Marc Davis. Theordore Chrisman's college roommate and one of his best friends.
