    Some interesting casting here.

    Lady, Bull, Toughy and Peg are animated by the same group we've seen on earlier Geronimi sequences: John Lounsbery, Eric Larson, Cliff Nordberg, Don Lusk and George Kreisl. Nordberg gets the scenes of Lady with the guard. As a general rule Larson animates Lady and Peg, while Lounsbery animates the male dogs, but there are some exceptions: one shot of Peg singing is credited to Lounsbery!

    Meanwhile, Boris, Pedro, Dachsie and the "chorus" dogs in the opening scenes are animated by the group from Ham Luske's sequences: Woolie Reitherman, Hal King, Hugh Fraser, Eric Cleworth, Jerry Hathcock and Marvin Woodward.

    Lounsbery does everything Woolie doesn't do here, including scenes of Lady and Peg.
    And I'm very surpesed Frank Thomas isn't doing the crying dogs. Depression was his specialty.

    Zartok, let's not imply too much that Frank was typecast on 'depression' scenes..though I do understand your reason. i.e. (SNOW WHITE, PINOCCHIO, SWORD IN THE STONE). This just shows versatility played a part for Woolie.

    Woolie's work is particularly fun, particularly on Boris (voiced by Alan Reed: same guy who voices Fred Flintstone - nice connection).

    The Cliff Nordberg scenes of Nutsy taken to the 'one-way doors' was mentioned in THE ILLUSION OF LIFE..and Frank & Ollie right how only Cliff could handle a dramatic scene with charm, at least as I
    recall offhand.

    Eric Larson's work was of course, marvellous, and Larson certainly showed a lot of sex appeal for Peg towards the dogs.

    Frank did crying scenes in Alice In Wonderland and Sleeping Beauty, too. Most of this would have been an attempt to cash in on how he emotinally triggered the audience in 'Snow white'

Prod. CM8 - The Picnic

Image
Directed by Burt Gillett. Released 10/23/30, this FINAL draft dated 9/13/30. Animation by Dave Hand, Jack King, Charlie Byrne, Norm Ferguson, Dick Lundy, Johnny Cannon, Les Clark, Ben Sharpsteen, Tom Palmer, Wilfred Jackson, Jack Cutting and Frenchy de Trémaudan. Found on the Treasures DVD Mickey Mouse in Black and White, Vol. 2 Disk 1 or on YouTube, though in very low quality here . A cute little film, this is actually a landmark in animation history. "Can I bring Rover?" Little Rover is, of course, none other than Pluto! Fergy's scene 27 is often "quoted" when discussing the origins of this the most famous of cartoon canines. It is very interesting to see the difference in drawing styles. Fergy tries to draw a dog and mostly does a very nice job. Compare this with e.g. Palmer's attempt in the final scene. It is a "funny cartoon balloon animal," a much more simplistic and symbolic way of drawing. Palmer, Cannon and Lundy seem not to be quite up to...

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...

Prod. CM20 - Mickey Cuts Up

Image
Mickey Cuts Up was directed by Burt Gillett and released 11/30/1931. It is found on Disney Treasures DVD: Mickey Mouse in Black & White Volume 1 disc 1. You may still find it here on YouTube. Have a look, if you need a clearer understanding of the following documents! Gillett left some documents pertaining Mickey Cuts Up behind, and I would like here to show a few of these that I recently lucked into. It is interesting to speculate in which order these were written - they seem to all be in Gillett's own handwriting and would probably date to late August or early September 1931. First we have two pages, numbered 1 & 2, with ideas linked to names, Otto and Webb, which to me seems to mean that the ideas were originally thought out by either Otto Englander or Webb Smith. There are interesting ideas that did not make the film - they are crossed out: "mower bumps up and down on hedge - trick cuts." Some were not crossed out and made it in the film: "Cuts down tre...
