Fred Moore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fred Moore (born September 7, 1911 in Los Angeles, California, USA; died November 23, 1952 in Burbank, California, USA in a road accident), was an American character animator for Walt Disney Productions, best known for being the resident specialist of the animation of Mickey Mouse. Moore is most notable for re-designing the character in 1938 for his landmark role as The Sorcerer's Apprentice in Fantasia, a look which remain's Mickey's official look to this day.
Moore was well-known around the studio for his cheesecake drawings of sexy, often nude, women, referred to as the "Freddie Moore Girls." Some of the Freddie Moore Girls' designs found their way into Disney films: for example, the centaurettes in Fantasia and the teenage girls in the "All the Cats Join In" segment of Make Mine Music.
