    The departure of Wilfred Jaxon has allowed Ham Luske to get Mac Stewart on his layout crew.

    You actually posted this twice. You posted this yesterday instead of "Jock & Trusty Propose".

    Les Clark returns for the first time since the opening. In fact, most of the animators here are the same as on the (long) first sequence, with Woolie Reitherman, Hal King and Les Clark in charge.

    To err is human, Wakko.

    Great sequence as well as the dramatic staging and layouts. Woolie Reitherman puts on a rather dramatic performance, and well as a colleagues, but they do the job wonderfully.

    Maybe Mac Stewart's presence among the layout artists means that this sequence was originally assigned to Wilfred Jackson and reassigned to Ham Luske after Jaxon's heart attack?

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...
