Cheers



I have posted a black & white version of this beautiful Milt Kahl design drawing for Sleeping Beauty before. Here it is again in color. King Hubert, King Stefan and the Lackey, all totally different personalities and body types. A celebration of pristine shape variety and contrast.

Cheers to a wonderful holiday season!

  3. I like the musician because of his facial expression. Piekne swieta Bozego Narodzenia, Mr Deja! :-)

  4. I remember working on this sequence with Stan Green and Tom Ferriter back in the day. I was so terrified of Milt... I never even saw him for months.

  5. Was it Milt who painted this with markers? The drawing looks like his for sure.

    1. Markers weren't available yet during the 1950s. Milt actually tried watercolor on this illustration.

    2. Thanks for this info, Andreas, I had no idea Markers were not available at that time. I think Milt did a great job on this piece.

  6. I remember this scene. I also do remember there was a deleted song where they showed the virtues of their kids and that sequence was supposed to be set in the beginning and if it did, it may be possible for Aurora to gain some extended screen time. Speaking of which, the same song, I just mentioned, had King Stefan and King Hubert looked different and I don't know who made their appearance in the storyboard sketch of a deleted song. Of course, Stefan was originally going to be voiced by Hans Conried, but his own replacement by Taylor Holmes as Stefan for the final cut only did more to give out unanswered questions (destroyed the whole truth regarding the unseen Duke's voice) and sadly destroyed his chance to reunite Bill Thompson.
