It's so much fun to go watch the film again with these drafts in hand.
I was happy to read the article that Pete did on John Sibley . As you say there are many more of these brilliant animators who deserve to have their work highlighted , too.
I continue to be especially impressed by Hal King's work. I'd like to know more about him. I've known a little bit about Hal King for years because when I worked for Dale Baer's commercial studio Dale told me about Hal and how great he was . (Dale started at Disney on "Robin Hood" when Hal King was still working. I think Hal King retired after that .) A lot of those animators who started at Disney in the early 70's such as Dale Baer, Ron Husband, John Pomeroy , Glen Keane, Andy Gaskill , probably have stories to tell about some of the "unknown" Disney animators . Actually, as far as I know John Ewing is still alive and well , living in New Zealand. I worked with his son, Sam Ewing, who was a top key assistant at Disney . I'm sure John Ewing would have some good information about the era to share. Canemaker did interview Ewing a bit for The Nine Old Men book , mainly in the chapter on Lounsbery, who Ewing worked for as an assistant before being promoted to animator. Canemaker also interviewed Baer, Gaskill, Pomeroy , and Don Bluth, too, for the Nine Old Men book but almost entirely about their work with one or more of the Nine. I wonder how much supplementary material John C. may have concerning some of the others such as Hal King ? I do recall once asking John if he would ever consider doing a book on the "unknown" animators at Disney and he replied that he'd love to, but there's really no market for a book like that beyond a small niche of animation fans, so he'd be writing a book that would never be published. I guess that's why blogs were born !
