Prod. 2063 - Cinderella (XVIII)  - Seq. 05.1 - Slipper Fitting (I)

120121122123
124125126127
Directed by Gerry Geronimi, laid out by Tom Codrick and Don Griffith. Assistant director Ted Sebern, secretary Marie Dasnoit.
This final draft dated 11/3/49.

First part of this sequence. I need to spread it out a bit...
Duke: Hal King, Harvey Toombs, Milt Kahl
Mice: Marvin Woodward, Woolie Reitherman
Stepmother: Frank Thomas, Harvey Toombs (Hand: George Rowley)
Stepsisters & Lackey: Ollie Johnston
Effects: Ed Aardal

The film seems to be in two parts: a Jackson/Luske beginning, and a Geronimi ending...

    Well, I was right about Woolie and the mice -- not sure if I read that somewhere or if it just seemed to make sense.

    I guess Marvin Woodward is working under Woolie's animation supervision here.

    Strange to see Harvey Toombs animating the Duke along with the Stepmother, but I guess he was animating them both under Frank Thomas.

    There is some wonderful acting on Ollie Johnston's lackey character in this sequence.

    Alas, this is probably my favourite sequence with the mice in it. Woolie Reitherman is a real inspiration to me. Shot 46.1 is a very funny shot - with Shot 46 supported by Toombs in which it makes the gag funnier, not funny looking, but the visualizing. Toombs was pretty good at that.

    Marvin Woodward seems to have been Woolie's colleague in this film, and again in "Alice in Wonderland" doing the White Rabbit. Since on Mike Barrier's interview when Kahl had pity for Woodward that he thought he wasn't a good animator. Well, Woody does a good performance there.

    Hal King does a good performance on the Duke, like the "take shot" of the ugly sisters. Thought that Frank did that scene, I did.

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?
