ReplyDeleteWhat a great example of the evolution of animation.
Thanks!
I love, love, love this one. :)
ReplyDeleteI seldom get excited about pencils from the shorts but this sequence is one of the nicest I've seen!
Joakim- I know what you mean! It's nice to see some great examples. I know many others exist, but having Mickey in the shot makes it a little more unusual...

Do we have any idea who the clean-up artist "T.R." is ?
ReplyDeleteTony Rivera ? (a Disney assistant animator in the
30's) .
That's the only "T.R." I know . Could be any number of people who were assistants at Disney's . It was customary for assistants to initial their drawings . (so if there was a question or a problem with a scene it could be traced back to the person who did the final clean-up drawing.)
