HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY FRANK THOMAS!
When asked whether Frank considers himself a romantic:“Yes, don’t you? Aren’t we all? You’d have trouble defining what a romantic is, but I think it has a lot to do , to me, living with your dreams and dreaming quite a bit about connections between things. Trees, the sky, the grasses, the birds, the animals and you being a part of the whole thing.A Realist would have trouble with some of those concepts, but if you get into an imaginary field like animation, you’d better come equipped with that kind of nonsense.”Source: Deja View
They have been with us for generations, each of them represent a different type of young woman, yet all of them admirable.
I love me some Disney princesses! Which one of them do you identify the most?
UP YOU GO!“These are three stages in the making of a little scene from Jungle Book.The story sketch is by Bill Peet, Bagheera is asking Mowgli to get up this tree to spend the night.Milt Kahl animated both characters, and you can see how Peet’s pose of the panther was an inspiration to Milt. The final animation shows Mowgli entering the scene in profile instead of from the foreground. Also, Mowgli’s attention is still with Bagheera.It takes a few more scenes before he lifts his head, in a close up, to examine the enormous tree in disbelief.Next time you watch the film, look at the animation frame by frame. Mowgli’s walk as well as Bagheera’s leap into the scene are beautiful, full of weight.I don’t know who painted the background, but I think that the whole night time sequence looks stunning.”Andreas DejàSource: Dejà View
