Sadly, Moore died as a result of a car accident on November 23, 1952, after animating Mickey one last time in ''The Simple Things'' and Casey's daughters in ''Casey Bats Again''. Ollie Johnston, one of Creator/DisneysNineOldMen and an apprentice under Moore in the late 1930s, personally kept his pencil taped to his window as a memento. Moore posthumously received the Winsor [=McCay=] award in 1983 and was named a Disney Legend in 1995. He is also mentioned prominently in the book ''Literature/TheIllusionOfLife''.

Moore was fired from Disney in 1946 due to his increasingly heavy alcoholism, an issue allegedly hindering his output at the time. After several months of freelancing, his former colleague Dick Lundy, a director at Creator/WalterLantz Productions, hired him as an animator and character designer, where he helped slick up the design for WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker within iconic shorts such as "Wet Blanket Policy" and "Wild and Woody!". After animating on a small number of shorts, the Lantz studio temporarily closed in 1948, sparking Moore's return to Disney, where he would remain for the rest of his career. This was, however, unfortunately destined to be short-lived.

Moore left the Disney studio for a while in 1946 to work at Creator/WalterLantz Productions, where he helped slick up the design for WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker in what would be the wacky bird's best-known films. After the Lantz studio closed its doors for a brief time in 1948, Moore returned to Disney for the rest of his career, which was destined to be short-lived.

Around the studio staff, Fred was best known for drawing [[InnocentFanserviceGirl innocently nude women]], dubbed "Freddie Moore girls", that many of the staff artists wanted a sketch of. Some of these girl designs wound up in some of Disney's films, including the alluring centaurettes in ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}'', the teenage girls in ''WesternAnimation/MakeMineMusic'' (where he singlehandedly animated the scene where a girl showers and dresses while her little sister follows her) and the mermaids from ''WesternAnimation/PeterPan''.

Fred Moore joined the Walt Disney studio in 1931 as an assistant and later became a full-fledged animator in 1933, his first major assignment being the Oscar-winning Silly Symphony short ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs'' During that time, Moore refined the design of WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse to make him more flexible and expressive, including giving him a pear-shaped body (which debuted in ''WesternAnimation/PlutosJudgementDay'') and fixed white eyes with black pupils (which were made for the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" sequence from ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'').

When Walt Disney began working on the studio's first feature film, ''Disney/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', he was brought in to refine the designs of the dwarfs to make them more appealing and easier to animate. These designs were the basis of what would be called the "Golden Age" of Disney animation. His next assignment would be the lead animator for Lampwick in ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'', who was essentially a self-caricature.
