Stan Lee just stole his master's life force.

I'm not gonna count this as a 2016. He was scheduled for 2002 and he just powered the fuck through.

>>88778736
Seems like the one who got away from Stan necromancy.
Maybe it doesnt work on Asians.

Well technically speaking a career in which one sits at a desk wouldn't exactly be taxing on the muscles.
As long as you were to balance your caloric intake and eat a high ratio of vegetables to lean meat (emphasis on lean meat) and engage in moderate exercise, it kind of stands to reason that you would maybe increase your chances of living a bit more. But this is all speculation because there have been people who have lived long lives not working in animation.
I have heard that dancers (ballet, tap, jazz, ballroom) also live quite long. Dick Van Dyke is older than 95 and he can still dance. I swear he looks like he's only pushing 75

He was born in Qing-dynasty China before immigrating to the United States. That's insane

You aren't famous.
Your death will be nothing more than a statistic.
Your life force would satisfy him no more than a cheeto would satisfy an elephant.

Is it just me, or do animators seem to live REALLY, REALLY long? I think a bunch of Walt Disney's "nine old men" are still alive and Don Bluth is alive as well.

Oh and also Bambi the greatest work of Art in film history. RIP Tyrus.

Dubs decides who's soul Stan is taking next.

>>88784921
Because I need to personally know an artist to appreciate his work in pastels that inspired Bambi. The art in that movie was gorgeous.

Not anymore, it doesn't.

Keep trying to cover up Stan, we all know it's you.

It's weird knowing that he was held on Angel Island from the Chinese Exclusion Act, because he was that old that the Chinese exclusion act was still a thing.

Passing away peacefully surrounded by family after a celebrated artistic career at the ripe old age of 106 ain't a bad way to go.

Dick Van Dyke has superman genetics. Remember when his car caught fire on the California freeway a few years ago? Here was an 87 year old man still driving down the interstate at an age when most people struggle to drive to the corner grocery store. He pulled over and called 911 as soon as he noticed something was amiss. The guy clearly had excellent mental sharpness and ability to think quickly for as old as he was.

My favorite movie of all time, and it would've been nothing without Tyrus. RIP.
I'd say I can't believe he's gone, but 106 is very old. After everything he went through, it sounds like he ultimately achieved the dream, which is the best you can hope for.

>>88793713
Not to be that guy, but it's not like Wong waltzed in and everyone loved him. Walt stumbled on his paintings by accident (I think he was an intern?) and while by influence he was functionally made the lead storyboard artist, he wasn't credited that way for years.

His childhood was complete shit because he was a Chinese immigrant. He managed to make it by through talent, perseverance, and the skin of his teeth.

>>88798858
I have no doubts it was a rough journey, but the man made it to 106 with a legacy and three daughters who he collectively referred to as his "greatest achievements".

Dude wound up with a big family and a loving wife that stuck around for 60 fucking years before she passed. No divorces.
