Cy Young (animator)

Cyrus "Cy" Young (simplified Chinese: 杨左匋; traditional Chinese: 楊左匋; March 7, 1897[1] – January 16, 1964)[2] was a Chinese-American special effects animator, best known for his work for The Walt Disney Company.

[5] Young's first work in United States was as lead animator on the 1931 short "Mendelssohn's Spring Song", a project completed while he was a student in New York City.

Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston wrote in their book Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life; "Through the entire thirties, the entire Effects Department consisted of only two men: Ugo D'Orsi, a straightforward, stubborn, and dedicated Italian, and Cy Young...quiet and sensitive...who loved to play the bass fiddle as a hobby.

Since [D'Orsi and Young] did most of the careful work themselves, they needed only a single assistant between them."
