A great photo with Marc Davis, Milt Kahl and Ken Anderson being interviewed, possibly for a radio program. Marc is doing the talking, but it looks like Milt is trying to get a word in.
These guys are at the top of their game, and the animators couldn't be happier, because for the first time they would see their own drawings on the screen thanks to the new Xerox process.
I cannot even imagine this film being inked, just look at the vitality of the line in this gorgeous scene.
Cruella is facing off with Nanny, who is holding her own in this confrontation.
An incredible composition for these two characters, full of personality in this one frame alone.

Stay tuned for Marc's official birthday post in a few hours!
Waiting for...

Do you think that the Xerox process, or at least something similar, will ever see a comeback? Meaning that a film will be made where the artists original drawings are the ones seen on screen? I saw an interview with Glen Keane where he sited the charcoal animations he did for the colours of the wind in Pocahontas as the only time where his actual drawings were seen by anybody. It seems like there's still a want from animators to be able to see their drawings take centre stage.
ReplyDeleteA lot of independant short films show the animators' rough work.
DeleteMy film certainly will do that.
Wether this would ever happen in a feature film, who knows?
Some of us did it on Winnie The Pooh, but as you might have heard, Disney is in no rush to return to its traditional animation.
Thanks for posting this marvelous stuff. It's fantastic that you're keeping the pencil lines in your own film as well. Another advantage of digital colour now is that you can keep some of the softness of the pencil lines rather than having them completely solid
ReplyDeleteThe polar opposite-ness of Cruella and Nanny in this scene is quite funny – their personality, their face and body shapes, down to Cruella's arched eyebrow and the bag under Nanny's eye. :D
ReplyDeleteNow waiting patiently.
The expressions in these drawings are absolutely wonderful and funny all at once. Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteHi! I discovered your blog just recently, as well as my passion for drawing, that I only do as a hobby...Seeing the art of these people is a great emotion and a source of inspiration...!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!!!
Cruella De Vil's without a doubt one of the greatest villains in DIsney history! I heard Dr. Facillier from The Princess and the Frog, animated by Bruce W. Smith, was inspirational to him! Is that true, Andreas?
ReplyDeleteI really don't know. You would have to ask Bruce.
