I WISH THIS FLOYD WAS MY UNCLE...!
5 July 2018 | by – See all my reviews

A wonderful doc on the life of Floyd Norman, a lifelong Disney animator who didn't let color or circumstances impede the love of his life; his job. For those fearing entering the hinter years of old age, Floyd's life is a model for those of us who truly love what they do & hope to do it till the day they die.
