About Willie Ito - A six-year run at Warner Bros. Animation (where he labored at the old \\u201cTermite Terrace\\u201d for the last twelve months of its life) was followed by a turn at Snow Ball Productions and then fourteen years in design and layout at Hanna-Barbera. Finally wearying of the animation grind, he veered into character merchandising work with the Disney Co. in the late 1970s. And there he spent twenty-three years designing toys and collectibles, with only one trip back into animation as a key player of the small artistic team that launched Disney Television Animation. *Willie Ito | Animation Guild
