Known for Visual Effects
He animated at Disney from Snow White all the way through Lady and the Tramp. Hugh’s work was very cartoony and has great use of caricature. I also love the speed and weight you can see in his animation. My favorite scenes of his are in the court room sequence in the Wind and the Willows. Hugh Fraser was oftentimes used in scenes supervised by Norman Ferguson and Fergy really used his talent well. Among the things Hugh worked on include Honest John and Gideon in Pinocchio, the gossipy elephants in Dumbo (including a majority of their scenes in the Pyramid of Pachyderms sequence), some stuff with the mice in Cinderella, and good stuff on the Walrus and the Carpenter in Alice in Wonderland. He later worked for Hanna Barbara and passed away in 1994. -https://50mostinfluentialdisneyanimators.wordpress.com/2011/06/26/unsung-animators-honorable-mentions/
