A look behind the scenes during the production of 101 Dalmatians (1961) with animators Eric Larson and Frank Thomas and Anita's voice actress Lisa Davis.
“I remember animating these scenes feeling the same emotions Tarzan was going through and all you can do sometimes is just press harder on your pencil to try to make the drawing express what you’re feeling in your heart and you hope that the audience can feel it as they’re looking at it.” Glen Keane (supervising animator)

Awesome Disney People ↬ Retta Scott [1/?]
"Retta had an astounding ability to draw powerful animals. She seemed to have a keen understanding of their moods and attitudes." -Frank Thomas
Retta Scott, inducted as a Disney Legend in 2000, is most notable as being the first credited female animator at Disney, as well as working in the story department for some time. Everyone at the studio was surprised to learn that Scott animated the powerfully striking hunting dogs near the end of Bambi. She came back to the studio after being laid off in 1941 to work on production backgrounds and Big Golden Book illustrations.
Fun Fact: Scott stayed with her best friend Mary Blair while Blair’s husband was in the Navy.
