I recently discovered this scene from Disney's Hyperion days. Artists taking a break. Except for one person at the bottom of the photo, and that person has to be Milt Kahl.
Kids...smoking is bad for you! Milt was not a smoker anymore when I met him in the early 1980s.
Here he is answering questions posed by Mike Bonifer for Disney Chanel's "Disney Family Album."
As I mentioned recently, the oversized book on Milt Kahl is in the works. I got Disney's verbal approval, and I am determined to make this one of the best books on Disney Animation ever.
Around 1983. Milt was the only animator who drew character sketches for his episode.
This was filmed at his home just north of San Francisco, after he had left Disney.
Just a few years prior, Milt had sketched character designs for The Black Cauldron. Stunning drawings of Princess Eilonwy.
As Milt said: "You got to have high standards".
