Poll Suggestion: Disney's Nine Old Men
Disney's Nine Old Men were a group of Walt Disney Productions' core animators, who worked at the studio from the 1920s to the 1980s. Some of the Nine Old Men also worked as directors, creating some of Disney's most popular animated movies. All nine members of the group were acknowledged as Disney Legends in 1989 and all would receive the Winsor McCay Award for their lifetime or career contributions to the art of animation.

Please add the discussion link.
The biographies are way too long, please try to shorten them.

I looked up a few things from the descriptions, and there seem to be inaccuracies. Chatbots are easily confused.
For example, Milt Kahl didn't specifically animate characters like Stromboli, Captain Hook or Cruella de Vil.

This is way too inside baseball as there is way too much overlap with the animated projects being worked on by multiple animators in this poll.

Hi Mario, I really like this idea.
I suggest one small edit to the intro:
Disney's Nine Old Men was a group of Walt Disney Productions' core animators...
(British English generally prefers "were," while American English prefers "was" and IMDb uses American English. The intro is quite good, by the way.)

@mariojacobs,
These men didn't just animate; they refined the 12 Principles of Animation and created the "Disney Style" that defined the Golden and Silver ages of the studio.
Because this group formed the backbone of the studio's creative leadership from the late 1930s until the late 1970s, they all worked together on many of Disney's most iconic features.
The films where all nine were credited as animators or supervisors include:
Pinocchio (1940)
Bambi (1942)
Cinderella (1950)
Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Peter Pan (1953)
Lady and the Tramp (1955)
Sleeping Beauty (1959)
One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961)
You may wish to focus on why each of these animators are unique:

Rather than rely upon Google Gemini, I tabulated the major films that the Disney's Nine Old Men animated.
