[1] In 1955, Boyer and his high school peers, Larry Janiak and Ronald Larson, had their animated cartoon films on display at the Tribune Tower Gallery.
A 1955 Chicago Tribune article states that all three boys would be “invited to Hollywood to see first-hand film cartoon techniques used in commercial production.”[4] The trio “developed a specially equipped camera and photography table, valued at more than $1,000”[5] These accomplishments caught the attention of Disney and the group was flown out to LA to visit the Disney studios.
