My Take
Bruce Reitherman is a small piece of childhood for anyone raised on Disney, and learning the story behind the voices delights me. He was Christopher Robin in the Honey Tree short and Mowgli in The Jungle Book, the son of legendary animator Wolfgang Reitherman, practically born into the studio. What I admire most is what came next: rather than fading as a former child actor, he went to Berkeley and built a real career as a director and cinematographer of nature films. That second act, turning a famous childhood into adult craft, is the part I find genuinely impressive.
