Went and saw the Kay Nielsen exhibit here just north of Copenhagen, on its last day. WOW! A truly amazingly gifted artist. And lots of art to look at! The good folks at the museum were justly humbled by the fact that there was no catalog. The only comfort they offered was the fact that there will be a book by Colin White about Nielsen, which was supposed to be issued during the exhibit. It will be available in English from London and Chicago, the Danish page says, and I just checked, it is planned to come out around - maybe just after - Christmas. The Danish publisher will distribute it in the US also. [Nov. 2009: date now shows as February 2010.]
This was the Disney room, with ten lovely items on loan from the ARL and a private collector, from Fantasia (with a clip running on video), Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty (image taken with my cell).

Hi Hans,

i was wondering if you happen to have the animation drafts for Donald's Cousin Gus? If so, do you know who animated Cousin Gus's walk at the start of the cartoon?

Hi, and yes, I do have the draft to that, prod. 2221, dated 3/10/38, and Cousin Gus is animated by Woolie Reitherman, all the way until we cut to Donald inside the house. I had this looked up for me, but when I can actually get to it myself, maybe some time late next week, I will put it up here...
