Some drawings by Milt Kahl, creator of one of the great female Disney villains--Medusa. So brilliantly animated, she was a true fright to behold because she was so real in the way she stomped around, schemed and connived. Awesome work.
A three frame sequence of Penny from The Rescuers by John Pomeroy. In these simple drawings, the tenderness of a child's love for her teddy bear is clearly realized.
An absolute gem of a video in which Disney legend and one of the famed Nine Old Men, Frank Thomas, talks about the simultaneous roles of an animator. To do their job effectively, an animator must also be an actor, a musician, a dancer and a director all at once. Just to see Frank flip his pages and watch the characters spring to life briefly is remarkable.
"Milt Kahl used a thin felt pen for his exploratory sketches during production of The Rescuers. He produced a ton of these sheets searching for the most inventive poses, expressions and acting patterns. Even if the scene is only 16 frames long, like the one shown here, Milt tried several variations on the main idea of Medusa freaking out at the sight of two mice." -Andres Deja
