A treasure trove of Disney animation artifacts. Things like Scar Pencil Tests, a Bambi wire model, and character doodles from the Aristocats.
And there's people out there with two months of experience flying type around in After Effects who are calling themselves animators.

That's some movie. What do you call it?

That still doesn't explain why Scar is portrayed as gay.

He's not gay, he's aristocratic.

People who like this sort of thing should watch the blog of The Animation Guild Local 839 IATSE. THey frequently run high resolution images and lengthy interviews of famous animators, along with various industry insider news. Since this is a Hollywood union site, there are a ton of great Disney stories here.

I love this post on Kathryn Beaumont. Seeing the photo references alongside the animated characters fascinates me. More examples here.

Just a note -- Andreas Deja will be speaking in Montreal this June. (Disclaimer: a friend of mine is hosting the talk, but it should be a great experience.)

Also check out the Pencil Test Depot for more rough, 2d animation goodness.

...I can't believe I read through it all. I was disappointed to see the end of the archives, really. Thanks for the post!
