Behind the Scenes....

I love photos that show animation artist at work during the medium's golden age. It's always a thrill to find new pics that take you back to a time when animation was this incredible, handcrafted art form.



Lisa Davis (Anita) and Eric Larson studying a Dalmatian. 



Hal King working on one of the original Winnie the Pooh shorts.



Frank Thomas checking rough inbetweens for one of his Pinocchio scenes.



Walt Peregoy with a few of his color designs for The Sword in the Stone. 



Kathryn Beaumont acting as Alice during the Caterpillar sequence.  



Retta Scott animating a Centaurette scene for Fantasia. 



Marge Champion is being filmed as Snow White. The person in the foreground looks like Art Babbit to me. 


An ink and paint artist working on a Pecos Bill cel.




A cel painter finishing a cel with Aurora.



Walt Disney during a lunch meeting at Disneyland. I recognize John Hench in the back and Marc Davis in front.
