I've always been amazed at John Lounsbery's skill and finesse, especially in animating characters with a light comic touch (“The Dance of the Hours”, Willie the Giant, and Willie the Operatic Whale (my favorite), Tony and Joe, among others). It's interesting that the story people on 'Peter Pan' decided to have Hans Conried do the voice for both Captain Hook and Mr. Darling--a theatrical tradition that started when Gerald du Maurier first played Captain Hook in 1904. <br /><br />This character is so charming and wonderfully conceived. Disney’s George Darling seems to anticipate George Banks in ‘Mary Poppins’. I love that particular scene when George Darling, outraged that the family sympathizes with the injured dog ("Poor Nana") and not him, leaps up in rage (with surprising agility) with such force that all the toys on the floor around him briefly fly off the ground! Such a nice touch!<br /><br />I read somewhere that John Lounsbery also animated Thomas Jefferson (also voiced by Hans Conried) in ‘Ben and Me’ which came out around the same time as ‘Peter Pan’. I marvel at how Lounsbery could use live-action as a reference, but could still create such graceful animated characters (while retaining that essential cartoon quality) with such vitality.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your insight and experience!<br />Farisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494042119638583751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-78856209703162328232017-05-30T04:39:00.607-07:002017-05-30T04:39:00.607-07:00I enjoyed the scenes with the parents more then th...I enjoyed the scenes with the parents more then the Neverland scenes.
