It is so much fun watching kids (and adults) as they sketch their own version of Mickey Mouse at the W. Disney Family Museum in San Francisco.
As I mentioned before I had the pleasure of guest-curating the exhibition, which runs until January.
One of the most fun things I did for the show was recording a commentary track to a large number of Mickey Mouse film clips with none other than Eric Goldberg!
We did this one Sunday afternoon as we dove back into Disney history and the creation of those cartoons. From Steamboat Willie and The Little Whirlwind all the way to Get A Horse.
These clips can be seen and listened to on a large interactive monitor.
