"Water Babies" (1935) [3 of 3] - Pencil Sketch
"Water Babies" is a great example of a Disney style of characterization that lasted for a fairly short period of time. You can see elements of these characters in "Little Mermaid" and other underwater cartoons.

What an hilarious drawing! Thanks for posting it; a reminder that they were still doing cartoons at Disney in 1935.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right! "Cartoons" is really the best word for it...

For sure the sea creatures have the same playful spirit- and even artistic, playing instruments- as those in The Little Mermaid!
