For me it has to be Milt Kahl, arguably the greatest draughtsman who ever worked for Disney. And after all, he was responsible for Shere Khan...

I admire Danny Antonucci. He's creator of Ed Edd n' Eddy
He always say the hand-drawn animation is the best. I think the same!

I really like Monkey Punch (he's the guy who drew Lupin the 3rd)

It's hard to pick just one... I'll go with the likes of Ub Iwerks and Tex Avery because I admire great innovators who pave the way for others.

Many great artists aren't writers.

Glen Keane. Boring answer, but my honest answer.

Brad Bird has inpired me more than anyone else, but that's because of his amazing directing-- not really his actual animating.

Genndy Tartakovsky has done some neat things. Clone Wars was pretty rad. He doesn't top my list or anything, but it didn't look like he got any mention yet.
