Directed by John Lounsbery and Art Stevens, assistant director Rick Rich, layout by Sylvia Roemer and Joe Hale. Secretaries P[at] Lestina and C[harlene] Rogers. This FINAL draft of 3/18/77.
Animation by Frank Thomas (supervising), Bill Hajee, Chuck Harvey, Ron Clements and one scene by Cliff Nordberg.
I knew Frank thomas was here! All the animation really nice. And Ron Clements wasn't too hard to expect either, based on his claims in the animation podcast. It's good to see Nord Nordberg too, but I'm surprised he didn't do the Moonshine reaction shots.
Everything about scene 12 is amusing. It's just perfect!
Working with Børge was fun, hard, boring, exciting, unusual, normal, and most of all educational. Over a year before leaving high school, in March 1978 I found out he lived in my neighborhood from a tv program about him and his wife Joanika. So I found him in the phone book (remember those?) and called him up. While studying art history, for a year I was his "pupil" doing animation tests, dropping by and having him correct them. Then, fed up with my art history professors, I moved my animation desk with my Neilson-Hordell disc into his Blaricum attic! (I am pointing at it in this photo taken last year:) Here, for almost four years, from March 1980 to November 1983 I smelled of his Douwe Egberts Red Amphora pipe tobacco and every day incl. weekends, Christmas and New Year from 10 to 6 we worked to the sound of BBC World Service if there were no jazz songs he had to listen to over and over again for an upcoming gig. I started doing simple non-production tests from his animation...
Directed by Ham Luske assisted by Jim Swain. Laid out by Ken Anderson, Al Zinnen and Thor Putnam. Secretary Ruth Wright. This Final draft dated 8/5/54. Animation by Ken O'Brien, George Nicholas, Jerry Hathcock, Harvey Toombs, Hal Ambro, Hal King with the baby by George Rowley. Again, very serviceable animators, no masterpieces... I like the CinemaScope note for sc. 28: "Lady will have to be alive throughout scene."
Directed by Bill Roberts assisted by Mike Holoboff. Layout by Al Zinnen. This FINAL draft dated 11/12/1946 by "Toby" Tobelmann. Animation by John Lounsbery (Giant, Donald), John Sibley (trio of Mickey, Donald, Goofy), Hugh Fraser (Giant, Mickey), Hal King (trio), Les Clark (Mickey), Hal Ambro (Mickey). No indication of effects animators...
Ah yes, Pat Buttram does the voice of the Drunken Luke and I like Buttram's voice, I'm not sure what to describe it.

Dang it, Scene 11 is what I was reffering to. Brilliant stuff! The timing, the action, the voice acting, it all comes together brilliantly.
