Volus Jones

Volus Carson Jones (1913-2004) was an American animator, director and writer. He was best known for his work at the Disney cartoon studio, but amassed credits at numerous other studios including Bakshi Animation, Columbia, DePatie Freleng, King Features Productions, Steve Krantz Productions, Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Animation, Harman-Ising Productions, Walter Lantz Productions, Format Films, Hanna-Barbera, Famous Studios, UPA and Aldo Boomer Cartoons.

Career
Jones started his career at Disney, first as an in-between artist before graduating to full animator status in the late 1930s. During his time at the studio he became something of a specialist in animating Donald Duck, earning him the nickname "The Duck Man" from his colleagues. He was one of the many animators that took part in the Disney animators' strike of 1941, although unlike a number of his colleagues he remained at the studio for some time afterwards, eventually leaving the company in 1956.
