Prod. 2063 - Cinderella (XV)  - Seq. 4.1 - Clock Strikes

103104105106107
Directed by Ham Luske, laid out by Lance Nolley and Ken O'Connor. Assistant director Larry Lansburgh, secretary Ruth Wright.
This final draft dated 11/25/49.

Cindy: Eric Larson, Marc Davis, Hugh Fraser
Prince: Eric Larson, Marc Davis
Duke: Frank Thomas, Hal King
Footman: Judge Whitaker
Mice: Phil Duncan, George Nicholas
Horse & Bruno the Dog: Hugh Fraser
Effects: George Rowley, Josh Meador

Interestingly, Frank and Ollie in their Illusion of Life show the model that layout man Ken O'Connor had made of the coach, which served as model for the animators. Certainly worth having a look at again.

    Hal King does the duke? Thats much more unexpected than Frank Thomas.
    Josh Meador's horsemen are no real achievement, are they? Shot 77.1 isn't timed very well.
    In shot 90, Nick Nicholas squishes Jaq's face the same way does in many Pluto cartoons.

    There quite a lot of Marc Davis Princery here too, it's not all Eric Larson. (And Les Clark animated him in the previous sequence)

    Josh Meador's horseman is alright. The shot with the pumpkin broken into pieces is excellent.

    It seems from the pages of the coach. The last missing page of the "Fairy Godmother" sequence that was supposed to appear on that sequence. The coach on that was probably my Meador, comparing to this sequence.

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

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?
