Yes, hips have been inspired by a great animation ;) I'd like to talk to you about animation and when you want me you can reply to this e-mail: nugolilg@libero.it. Least I would like to know you and Glean Keane through the internet. I live in Italy and here the animation is not taken seriously but the passion flows powerful in me :) I would like to send some my pencil-test, how can I do? PS: Could you put the pencil test of the opening scene of The Lion King? Than the rising sun? :)Gianni Nugolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028172661084185262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-2468289244749539292012-08-06T04:22:50.507-07:002012-08-06T04:22:50.507-07:00Liked your blog-site, I have to say that I find it...Liked your blog-site, I have to say that I find it very fantastic and I really liked most of the artwork that you have done including your rough animated drawings of Scar. Thanks for what you did Andreas, Scar is definitely the best Disney villain ever and I really loved Jeremy Irons voice of that evil character cause he is so brilliant and he is my second favorite movie actor.Filmguruladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09602597616319541191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-28912773818500083562012-01-13T21:06:30.369-08:002012-01-13T21:06:30.369-08:00Andreas,I have the absolute exact opposite opinion...Andreas,I have the absolute exact opposite opinion! I always loved Scar's earlier scenes much more than the latter more organic ones! The design of his facial profile and the extra sharp nose and chin are my favorite part of the "monkey's uncle" scene--- later on when he is prodding Simba to explain who is responsible for Mufasa's death, I always found the rounder features a bit off-putting and not at all as menacing. Just fan preference here, no real weight, no animating background--- but whatever the case, whether you feel you liked the more organic look better or not, overall Scar was and is a wonderful addition to the Disney character cache.<br /><br />I know I am a little late to the discussion, but after starting over and reading your blog from the beginning, being an avid Scar fan myself I could just not resist the opportunity.Lindi Marahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03636791805848861778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-19478772245790172852011-11-13T12:55:43.146-08:002011-11-13T12:55:43.146-08:00These are great!

I've always loved Scar's animation and the way he is stylized expertly while maintaining a lion's weight and rhythm.<br /><br />I remember seeing the scene where Scar moves towards Ed chewing on the bone during 'Be Prepared', and he moves from very close to the camera to a distance away. <br /><br />That part always reminded me of the scene when Bambi's mother walks over to him after he falls after leaping over the log with the bunnies.<br /><br />Did that scene serve as any inspiration/reference to you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-14084173046300443092011-10-17T20:17:13.810-07:002011-10-17T20:17:13.810-07:00Hello Mr. Andreas, first of all, I thank you for c...Hello Mr. Andreas, first of all, I thank you for created this blog and share with us, I'm sure for all who pass through here, it's a great joy to interact with you!<br /><br />Well, honestly, for me the best animated movie for its great message, warmth, beauty and lively, is undoubtedly The Lion King! and Scar, the evil uncle that you have created is my favorite villain! he really is ruthless, sarcastic and jealous, these are real characteristics of malevolent beings, and all these features are brilliantly expressed in your great work of animation. My sincere congratulations to you! <br /><br />By the way, Lilo is adored by my little niece :)<br /><br />Greetings from Venezuela!<br /><br />EE.<br /><br />P.S. Please Mr. Andreas, with humility, I ask you a minute of your time to take a glance at my blog, and if you like, leave a comment, whatever this is, for me mean a lot!

I was only about 10 when it came out the first time, but I can definitively say that movie was probably the biggest factor in my wanting to be a Disney animator "when I grew up." Things change a little.. (I'm a cg lighter), but it was amazing to see it on the big screen again. How great it must be to make a movie that people love so much it's #1 at the box office.. not just once, but 20 years later!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing Andreas & congratulations!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000406806467478217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-34914338943147002382011-09-21T19:42:25.181-07:002011-09-21T19:42:25.181-07:00So, could you tell us the truth please?

Thanks also for the rougher staging of the "It's to die for" scene, it's very helpful! I appreciate the insight into the process. The one thing that I find interesting is that I notice more details in the animation in the pencil tests. Maybe it's because there's just less stuff on the screen.<br /><br />I'm also curious about the line "It's a sort of those father-son... thing." I know for most stories, there's a lot more to them that never gets to the finished product. Is that a little peek into Scar's background that maybe his father had more father-son moments with Mufusa?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12484933717901663084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-27963542664842885102011-09-20T21:05:00.892-07:002011-09-20T21:05:00.892-07:00Very, very nice animation!!!

Great to see!
You're...Thanks for posting these. Great to see!<br />You're so self-effacing about them: oh, stop. ;)<br />The acting-within-acting is perfect: Scar's "accidental" mention of the graveyard is just the kind of performance an adult would use to fool a child.<br /><br />One thing that's always intrigued me from a technical standpoint: you clearly animated Scar saying "TO die for", (an "OO" shape to the lips), when Irons' reading is more of an informal "TA". That strikes me as the proper pronunciation being written down on the exposure sheet rather than a literal transcription of the reading. If so, when that happens, what's an animator to do, considering that such a line might be ADRed later? It seems that no matter which choice one made, it would end up the wrong one.Treadwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058295920878665756noreply@blogger.com
