The ART of Disney Animation. Two magnificent examples of how sophisticated Disney's animation had gotten 30 years after Steamboat Willie. Walt wanted "Moving Illustration" for Sleeping Beauty, and that's exactly what he got for this film.
My guess is that Iwao Takamoto drew this amazing clean up study over an animation rough drawing by Marc Davis.
The Maleficent sketch is most definitely by Davis. Marc skipped the production of Lady and the Tramp, so he could focus on designing and animating Aurora as well as Maleficent.
Masterpieces.

ReplyDeleteNow that you've mentioned Iwao Takamoto, do you realize the design comparison between Aurora and Daphne from Hanna-Barbera's "Scooby Doo" since he switched jobs at those places??
