Milt Kahl cut scenes from The Rescuers

Again these can all be found on Andrea’s deja blog with much more interesting and informative comments. https://andreasdeja.blogspot.com/2011/10/milt-kahl-crowd-scenes.html

Adding this post here so I can come back to reference it again later along with the drawings all in one place. I appreciate this blog is very derivative of Andreas Deja’s with posts like this but this will probs be a common theme with this blog, most of the stuff I’m adding can be found elsewhere on the internet but I just want to compile the stuff I like somewhere for myself to be able to reference.

Such a masterclass of animation, I will be studying these extensively!

Pres Romanillos

Saw these great pictures today, shared by Paul Briggs on twitter of Pres Romanillos animation desk, which I believe is now on display at the Walt Disney studio. Just look at those carvings! Pres was a phenomenal artist and we lost him far too soon! I discovered him and his work after he had passed away though I’m very glad I got to grow up watching his work. Here’s some photos of a book I own of his work, I love the way he could draw the figure, so much gesture and believable weight. Rest in peace Pres, and thanks for you wonderful art!

Lilo and Stitch Deleted scene

Here’s a beautiful pencil animated scene that was cut from Lilo and Stitch. It’s rather crazy to me that a scene as powerful and important as this, that has been taken this far through production then got cut. The themes are very moving and it’s quite a statement in itself to decide to not include it. Someone had to watch this scene, understand the message and then say “nah let’s not go there” I’m not sure who the animators were on this, Andreas Deja was main animator for Lilo so that’s not a bad guess, that he might of been involved. I suspect it was multiple animators, as it’s really multiple shots / characters that could be handled by different people. Anyway the animation is superb…
