    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'

Børge Ring - mentor and playmate.

Image
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...

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

Image
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...

Miffy the Movie in cinemas in Holland!

Image
Finally, the film I directed called " nijntje de film " ( miffy the movie ) has gone into general release in 118 cinemas in Holland today! As you can imagine, I am very proud of this film. Interestingly, the reviews are split in two: the ones where the reviewer saw the film WITH a children's audience all give the film four out of five stars, while the ones who have NOT seen the film with kids give it three out of five, and mention "I doubt if the film can keep the young audience captivated." The "four star" reviewers note that it can - that the film "works!" In the Dutch TV guide Troskompas , in the very first review published a week ago, I found a very clear view on this: the reviewer wrote that he feels he has no way of judging the film, but as his kid loved it and was entertained all the way, he could not but give the film four stars. To me, that is the only way to look at it: does our target audience like it? Are they amused and entertai...
