As a member of the California Watercolor Society and the American Watercolor Society in New York, he exhibited work all over the country. Preston was a fine artist during the early days of full-length feature animation. For the Disney production <i>Fantasia</i>, he designed and animated the hippos in "The Dance of the Hours." He also animated Mickey Mouse in <i>The Sorcerer's Apprentice</i>, portions of the classic film <i>Pinocchio</i>, and the famous scene in <i>Bambi</i> when the owl talks about love in his "twitterpated" speech. At MGM, Preston directed <i>Barney Bear</i> short films, and he was well known as the designer and animator of one of Tex Avery's epic shorts <i>Red Hot Riding Hood</i>. Preston later moved to Connecticut, where he produced television commercials, educational films, and cartoons, including <i>The</i><i>Flintstones</i>. Before he passed away, he worked as an inventor of interactive TV programs, such as teaching reading through animation and virtual reality games featuring full-sized animated opponents.</p>
