What's most funny to me is where his eyes are pointing - not making eye contact with Mim, but looking straight down her throat. I've also always been slightly mesmerized with how perfectly they manage to caricature alligators/crocodiles. There's something so compelling about the way they did them.<a href="http://www.pro-beatsbydre.com" rel="nofollow">Cheap Beats Headphones</a>beats headphoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675953941485615846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-87646021583302461772012-05-31T16:22:25.268-07:002012-05-31T16:22:25.268-07:00I didn't know they colored some model sheet be...I didn't know they colored some model sheet before the drawings was put on cels using the Xerox. I wonder which is the medium to give the colors such bright tints. Is it regular paint? It seems highlighted! Mim as a stork is amazing! A sinister version of the Aracuan bird.

This scene loomed large in my memory, though; as a kid, I thought it was about the most clever thing I had ever seen. The concept itself is genius, and they executed it perfectly.<br /><br />I love the image of Merlin and the gator at the top of the post. What's most funny to me is where his eyes are pointing - not making eye contact with Mim, but looking straight down her throat. I've also always been slightly mesmerized with how perfectly they manage to caricature alligators/crocodiles. There's something so compelling about the way they did them.<br /><br />On the subject of Chanticleer - I don't know what the real reason for shelving it was, but if Walt really felt that chickens couldn't be appealing it's a rare time that I disagree with him.
