He was at a Disney store doing a special appearance. One of the questions he answered has always stuck with me....someone asked which of the recent DIsney films he thought DIsney might have disliked and his reply was Aladdin due to how easily the gags could become dated. Then Aladdin was fairly recent but I really see what he meant by watching it now.theSurlyMermaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01143335422284660207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-17981551192394388402012-03-16T13:08:18.026-07:002012-03-16T13:08:18.026-07:00Marc Davis was an incredible draftsman as well. Hi...Marc Davis was an incredible draftsman as well. His character designs are some of my favorite for how he boils down human anatomy to the simplest lines which still convey a wealth of information. His Briar Rose character is a fantastic example of this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272208124749424615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-39535734983483394532012-03-16T11:13:13.698-07:002012-03-16T11:13:13.698-07:00Some times I think that I dream of Jeanie was insp...Some times I think that I dream of Jeanie was inspired by Tinker Bell, and I wonder if the witch Endora in Bewitched inspired Madame Madusa. I agree with you guys on Tinker bell, only truly skilled artist seem to be able to capture the grace and beauty in the female characters, it takes a delicate touch some artist seem to run out of talent and are better at the more cartoony characters, putting pants on Tink, I know what are they they thinking.Tiger vs lion the factshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04557674812293902526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-43971821070846393012012-03-16T07:22:55.016-07:002012-03-16T07:22:55.016-07:00That is incredible beautiful.That is incredible beautiful.Caerphillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092619307263596888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-19154364949778002212012-03-16T02:29:25.840-07:002012-03-16T02:29:25.840-07:00Certainly they had to make her a 'role model&#...Certainly they had to make her a 'role model' for girls the way they've changed her character. Nothing like the days when I though of Tink as a presenter myself (if only due to the familiar Disney anthology program I've watched on TV).Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-83904566937749383842012-03-15T20:51:46.969-07:002012-03-15T20:51:46.969-07:00Wow, magnificent drawing :D And yes, I miss the cl...Wow, magnificent drawing :D And yes, I miss the classic Tink too...K.Yanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474980752047842843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-45597363518990889262012-03-15T20:05:02.553-07:002012-03-15T20:05:02.553-07:00Alice is in her early 80ies and doing great.Alice is in her early 80ies and doing great.Andreas Dejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503659818150293229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-36670043399510775312012-03-15T19:38:12.390-07:002012-03-15T19:38:12.390-07:00I agree.

I like all mediums of animation. I prefer to animate traditionally and I think that the way Disney handled CGI, by which I mean, demolishing the 2D department instead of embracing both forms left a bad taste in our mouths towards CG. <br /><br />Back to Tinkerbell I completely agree with you on how they took the character away from her roots. The nonspeaking Tinkerbell said so much more than this version ever could.David McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14595606222102454157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-29516789148953071862012-03-15T12:05:37.747-07:002012-03-15T12:05:37.747-07:00I would hope he would knock some people out, or fi...I would hope he would knock some people out, or fire them on the spot. It's absolutely HORRID what they've done with Tinker Bell. Pants? Talking? CGI?!?!? She started off as a beautiful, sexy, sassy, gesture-driven character. Her green dress is iconic in and of itself. And what do they do? Add words, robbing her of her once-expressive body-language-only sense of self, and put her in PANTS!!! Not to mention furthering the demise of 2D animation by opting to turn her into a CGI franchise. It just appalls me. I'm with you--- I wonder what Mr. Davis would think, and I sure as hell would hope he'd have never let it get this far off of his original design!Lindi Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636791805848861778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-7492540741736766072012-03-15T10:28:53.610-07:002012-03-15T10:28:53.610-07:00Great!
