These drafts never cease to intrigue & amaze me. & so do you for owning & sharing these. Thanks again, Hans! & congrats on your 3 year blog anniversary!
I second that, these are always fascinating!
I've always found it strange that these three guys *directed* the cartoon -- I wonder if someone's made a mistake somewhere down the line and they actually *wrote* it, with the director being Dave Hand or Ben Sharpsteen?
Another thing which surprises me is that Art Babbitt animated the scene of Goofy's machine going wild - I had thought it would be an effects animator, or possibly the guy who animated Pete at the beginning (who, it turns out, is Ed Love, at his most off-model!)
Look at all those Art Babbitt scenes. He must have been working fast.
A great start to your fourth year, Hans. Thanks.
Is it true that you have Goofy drafts?
dbaxter91, the main category of my shorts drafts is Mickey Mouse. There are occasional exceptions (Goofy and Wilbur), and many of the Mickey shorts also have Goofy in them, like Boat Builders. (I also have basically all features from Snow White through Fox and the Hound.) So in answer of your question, yes, but not many...
