Mickey's Christmas Carol
His early work included "The Fox &amp; the Hound" (1981), "The Black Cauldron" (1985), "Mickey's Christmas Carol" (1983), "The Great Mouse Detective" (1986), and "Oliver &amp; Company" (1988), each following a very similar animation style in all the films. This style consisted of similar backgrounds with delicate animation and complex character effects, which was well received.
