Artist Kent Melton, an animation sculptor who created maquettes made of clay for classic Disney films in the 1990s and 2000s, has passed away at the age of 68.


Melton started at the Walt Disney Animation Studios, working on Aladdin, becoming a significant player in the Disney Animation Renaissance of the 90s. You can read the story of how he came to work on the film here on his instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CSR8b0mFntB/


Also, if you have any of these WDCC pieces in your collection, they were sculpted by Kent along with many others from various Disney properties: https://wdcccaboodles.com/WDCCCaboodles/sculptorsmelton2.html
