Retta Scott was the first female animator to receive official screen credit at the Walt Disney Animation Studios. She initially worked on storyboards for Bambi, developing scenes of the titular character, his mother, and the dogs, and further developed the vicious canines. She was assigned to animate them during the scene in which they chase after Faline and was mentored by animator Eric Larson. Amongst her body of work as an animator and illustrator, she is best remembered for this sequence and the dynamic intensity she brought to the dogs.
