First it was Joe Barbera, now it's Takamoto, the designer of Scooby Doo, among others.

He worked at Disney through 1961 and worked on Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and more.

Here's a link to the story on cartoonbrew.

Rakamoto red? ruh-oh!

Takamoto didn't enjoy as much name recognition as some other animators, but he has certainly left a legacy. Scooby is a timeless character that will no doubt outlive us. (As will his spiritual twin Astro), but I am most in debt for Takamoto's design of lovely Penelope Pitstop. Ahhh, Penelope...
