    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.

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...

Børge on Charlie Brown

This just in from Børge Ring. It is not a Disney item, but fun, nonetheless: William Littlejohn animated Lucy and Snoopy for Melendez on the PEANUTS series and recounted: "At one time Charles Schultz (the author of the comic strip) complained: "You guys make a mistake when you animate Charlie Brown. You change the placement of his nose when his head turns from profile to front view!" "No Charlie...the change is YOURS!" "Ah...come on fellers, I know my own characters!" They invited him down to the studio, set him up in the attic at a lightbox and said: "Draw a Charlie Brown in profile and one where he looks into the camera. Then draw three stages in between the two where his head turns." At 7 o'clock that evening, when everybody was having beers and playing pool, a tired Schulz came down the stairs, jacket slung over the shoulder. He stopped briefly to say: "OK, you guys. You win..."

Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1967)

Image
As a departure from my usual Disney-related posts, here is a bit about my "guilty pleasure," the French musical film by director Jacques Demy, "Les Demoiselles de Rochefort," in English "The Young Girls of Rochefort," released March 8, 1967. The first DVD I ever bought in the late 90s, in Annecy, France, was just this film. Recently I also got the Blu-Ray , and now having just received the 5-CD box set with Michel Legrands great music that came out last year , I revisited the movie and had a look at, where in Rochefort the film was shot. With the help of Google Maps, here is an overview of the locations: The film begins and ends around the strange (and defunct) bridge Le Pont Transbordeur, south of the city, but most of the action happens around Place Colbert, the center of the old town, with the office of the town's mayor used as the home of the twins, played by the Dorléac sisters, Françoise and Catherine, the latter using as stage name her mother...
