If you look at Franks drawings they absolutely ooze with life like no drawings Ive ever seen. Whats interesting about this is, Frazetta along with the drawing talent also had incredible hand eye coordination he could have almost played pro Baseball. Heres the connection, I have heard Fred Moore also with his incredible art talent also had amazing hand eye coordination for baseball. Not every one with great art talent could be a pro baseball player, with this added ability it could be why Fred's drawings as well as Frazetta's stood out at such an early age.Tiger vs lion the factshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04557674812293902526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-25439185945454202372011-07-04T13:45:45.780-07:002011-07-04T13:45:45.780-07:00Great post Andreas, I always admired Fred mores se...Great post Andreas, I always admired Fred mores sense of appeal in his drawings.

She became instant friends with him. She would supply him with his favorite beverage and in turn he taught her about drawing and stagging for animation. She learned a great deal from him, and was so greatful to him.<br /><br />When Fred left for Lantz he asked Cliff Nordberg if he wanted to join him,he told me he almost left Disneys with Fred because because he so admired the guy and he would be working close with him everyday and would learn so much.But decided to stay at Disneys.<br /><br />By the way my favorite Woody cartoon is "The Mad Hatter". It has some of the most beautiful drawing of Woody ever done by Fred Moore.<br /><br />Hope you and your readers are enjoying these stories...<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />TWmrmagoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986789915722174670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-67299037645619125422011-07-04T02:53:16.857-07:002011-07-04T02:53:16.857-07:00I'm a huge Fred Moore fan and have been learni...I'm a huge Fred Moore fan and have been learning from his work. He is a constant source of inspiration. Creating an appealing drawing is what it's all about for me. Fred worked hard at that and I heard he even had a list that included the word "appeal". <br /><br />I don't feel there has been enough said about his impact on animation as a whole. He was a game changer in him time. I appreciate what you said and the pictures.<br /><br />Even his departure from Disney for a short time produced some great results in giving Woody Woodpecker a make over. :) Here's to Fred.Dorseytuneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05150640104758811144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-34348180885839186822011-07-04T02:28:42.964-07:002011-07-04T02:28:42.964-07:00It seemed that some animators thought Fred Moore w...It seemed that some animators thought Fred Moore was becoming too old school in the late 40's and 50's and the animation had just become too sophisticated for Fred. However, I have heard Ollie specifically talk about his frustration on the animation business sort of pushing Fred's style out and calling it "too simple". I know Ollie might have been prejudice toward Fred, because Fred was a mentor to Ollie. But, Ollie seemed to think that Fred's style was beautiful and he did not deserve the criticism he got toward the end of his career. I was wondering what you thought?<br /><br />P. S. I know two other reasons for Fred's fall from glory was drinking and inability to consistently draw (he needed to be inspired first). So I don't know if those things were more of the reason for him getting kicked out then his drawing style. <br /><br />Sorry for the long comment, <br /><br />JacobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-55045186177008786002011-07-03T23:37:26.803-07:002011-07-03T23:37:26.803-07:00your blog is incredibly inspirational Andreas! tha...your blog is incredibly inspirational Andreas! thank you for sharing all the great stories and work from the great masters of animation! would love to see more of your work as well!Jason Newkirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07504524442025040872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-8343723751488211442011-07-03T22:40:12.640-07:002011-07-03T22:40:12.640-07:00Freddie Moore.. so young and so talented!Freddie Moore.. so young and so talented!wenlolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873486015123425373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-21739178081281788552011-07-03T22:35:32.949-07:002011-07-03T22:35:32.949-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.wenlolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873486015123425373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-22776533264556219452011-07-03T19:53:24.328-07:002011-07-03T19:53:24.328-07:00Zartok, I think the pig drawing is from "The ...Zartok, I think the pig drawing is from "The Practical Pig" 1939.<br /><br />Andy, there are quite a few artists today who show a lot of appeal in their work, it's just that Fred's stuff was so <br />groundbreaking.<br /><br />Clay and pb, thanks for stopping by.Andreas Dejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503659818150293229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-59702806493570931872011-07-03T19:48:21.559-07:002011-07-03T19:48:21.559-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Andreas Dejahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503659818150293229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-75062163996325304852011-07-03T19:11:47.822-07:002011-07-03T19:11:47.822-07:00ANDREAS! your blog is awesome!

When Fred Moore came to the studio in 1930 Johnny Cannon befriended him. When Fred first tried animation they were still using dimes nickels and quarters when drawing mickey mouse, he had a terrible time with this method. Johnny talked with Fred for several days about this and suggested maybe there was a different approach.Fred threw his change into the desk drawer put pencil to paper and shall we say the rest is history.<br /><br />ALSO...Joe Voight an assistant animator who worked at Diisney,MGM and Lantz told me his sister Dolores Voight who was Disney's secretary told Joe when Walt fired Fred he said<br /> that it was the hardest thing he had ever done.<br /><br />more to come...<br /><br />TWmrmagoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986789915722174670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-18870336654437050212011-07-02T16:16:02.272-07:002011-07-02T16:16:02.272-07:00This blog has been a long time comin'.
