Five years old today...

It had gone past me, though I meant to mark it:
I have been blogging for five years, starting May 22nd, 2006!

(Thus the "today" in the title is somewhat misleading:
I am actually posting this two days too late. Oh, well...)

May I suggest you check out some of the older postings?

    Congratulations. We started our blogs in the same year. I continually come back to yours to visit older posts. I can't believe how resourceful the material you post here is. It resounds often fopr me.

    Congrats Hans! It'll be my first year of my blog "Blabbing on Arts and Culture" on June 4, 2011. About a week away.

    Let's hope you continue to post more inspiring stuff in the future.

Prod. 2074 - Peter Pan (XVII)  - Seq. 15.0 - Voyage Home -- Ending

Directed by Wilfred "JAXON" Jackson, laid out by Maclaren Stewart. Assistant director Mike Holoboff, secretary Toby (Tobelmann). This FINAL draft dated 11/3/52. Animation by Marvin Woodward (Lost Boys, John, Michael), Eric Larson (Peter), Harvey Toombs (Wendy), Don Lusk (Tink), Norm Ferguson (Nana), Jack Campbell (Father), Art Stevens, Milt Kahl (Father, Mother, Wendy), Marc Davis (Mother), Hal King (John), George Rowley (anchor chain, pixie dust, sail, ship), Josh Meador (cloud-ship). And that concludes the draft for Peter Pan, the fourteenth complete feature film draft on this blog! (Ok, you smart-alecks, we still need to see the last page of the Pink Elephant sequence...) As always, I feel the need to stress that these documents were kept to keep track of the responsible person, and as such it may not reflect precisely the specific directing animators who worked on the sequences. If e.g. an inker or checker needed to find out who animated the scene because of some question

Small One finished yesterday...

Taking a little break to prepare some new things. I must say that so far, the response to my Small One draft has been more underwhelming than I feared it would be. There IS no other place to find this information, folks! Look at the film (e.g. via the YouTube links I posted yesterday) and then check out the draft. You may very well learn something new... The good news: Holland in the Final! (Phew!!!) [Addition: It wasn't a pretty final, though quite exciting - which saw Spain win four minutes before the end of the extra time. Oh, well...]

Out to Lunch (I)   -- Restaurant with Waitress Service

Image
Once in a while a menu turns up on eBay from the Walt Disney Studio Restaurant - I bet most of you have seen it. But what did the restaurant - "The Commissary" look like, back in the 40's? Well, part of it looked like this at 12:22 pm... < Click on it! I don't have my menu close right now, but I actually found one just now for sale, so I added its pictures to give this post some color. Clearly visible in this picture is John Lounsbery (right under the right "pipe"). I think that the top of then-lay-outer and later Imagineer Herb Ryman is seen in the left-front of the front counter, and I believe a gentleman in the back center staring straight at us is background painter (and also future Imagineer) Claude Coats. In the very back, left of center possibly Milt Kahl, looking screen left... Others?
