Mickey and Company

Here’s some ruff animation of the scenes I did for the Happily Ever After show at Disneyworld. It’s playing nightly now, so go see live it if you can. It’s much more impressive projected on the castle at Magic Kingdom

Moana pencil animation vs. Moana final animation

Mark Henn’s pencil animation for Mulan (1998).

Aladdin, 1992

cruella pencil test (101 dalmatians,1960)

101 dalmatians (1961)

This was a fun test to show what we could do with Tala’s “grandma arms” (no offense to my grandma – Love ya, Grandma<3). 

This test was based on a drawing by Jin Kim. You can see his art @cosmoanimato

Moana singing. I was asked to do a singing test to show how a performance may differ from a regular dialog shot.

Another traditional character exploration test. Moana interaction with her hair. It is very difficult to have a character touch her hair in CG. These tests were to show how much Moana’s hair was part of her character.

Bill Tytla’s pencil animation for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937).

Eric Larson’s beautiful pencil animation for Disney’s Cinderella (1950).
