Scar always impressed me as a design because you can literally feel the “vibe” of Jeremy Irons’ line delivery in every scene he’s in. He practically crawls around his line-reads, and the poses reflect that so well. That kind of “impossible” negative space of his mouth shapes is so charmingly nasty, literally always talking out the side of his mouth. Being a nasty fella can be SO rubbery and expressive, these pencil tests PROVE that
Just realized how much Scar looks like Jafar. Then again, Disney does have very distinct animation eras, and one can usually tell if the same group of animators worked on a movie. Judging by Scar's "head swaggles", as I've heard them called, I'm guessing you may have done some training under Milt Kahl.
I loved doing all the interviews and directing the Disney Family Album series. Milt was one of my favorites. For one thing, he did very few interviews, so it was an honor to get to speak with him. And I'll never forget the expressions he made when he was doing that Pinocchio drawing. Fierce and focused, and very alive, like he was pouring his own life into the drawing. I could imagine him making those same faces while he was at his animation desk. I'll have a few stories about Milt that have never been told before in the book I'm writing, 'Me and the Mouse,' about my experiences over 20 years working with The Walt Disney Company. [Andreas Deja--would you like an advance copy? One of Milt's stories involves you. Naturally.]
How did he get the background to stay the same? Was he using transparent tracing paper so the cat showed on top of the background ? This is pencil so it can’t be cellophane
So interesting to see how there were some shots, and also lines of dialogue, that were either reworked or scrapped completely in the final film. Also I'm surprised how rough these tests could be in their earliest stages. Some of these tests are barely legible scribbles. Just enough information to go on to get a basic idea of how the scene will play out.
You always hear the same thing from people who worked at the studio then -- about Walt Disney being a superb storyteller who was great at getting people motivated and excited about whatever project was being hashed out. It's a painful shame that none of these story sessions were ever captured on film.
I keep coming back to watch this, it's absolutely incredible the work that went into these types of films. I've always been fascinated by how things were made since I was a kid, especially having to do with film, animated or otherwise. Amazing work, there's no words to describe the awesomeness of it. I do have a question, something I've wondered about since I was little during the Disney Renaissance: for shots like when we trail upward towards Jafar at his introduction, is that all animated? It almost looks like a camera craning upward, I've always been fascinated by that effect.
Milt is a humble genius. I mean his work in Sword in the Stone (among others) is beyond comparison. His drawings of arms and hands is still used as a guide up to today by animators. God bless you, Milt Kahl.

Please Andreas Deja, leave a translation.
Oh, Miltie-Pie!
Next Pencil Test: Eric Goldberg animated Jafar in Phineas Adventures (1998)
As an animator myself, I still can't get over the fact that he's drawing with a sharpie! That's mad talent right there.
Robin Hood's voice actor, the late Brian Bedford, was known for playing drag roles, and this was likely a reference to that.
This is an issue in the VFX industry too. Some assignments are high profile..... Milt was great at villains. Maybe someone else wanted a turn?😅
This is one of my favorites, and one has to especially admire the superb job Peter Ustinov did.
Magnificent movie.
Thomas looks so different with tiger stripes, almost like Tigger.

Do you have any tests for Theme Song Guy?
Andreas Deja, mein persönlicher Held!! Und darum in Kunst auch Unterrichtsinhalt 🤓

This is like listening to Michelangelo talk about how to do sculpture. This is a pure treasure. Thank you for posting this.

Even though it was these very drawings that we see in xeroxed form in the film itself, somehow they just seem so much richer here.

I just hope that they’ll just had to get somebody else
Watching Fantasia right now and I knew I recognized that ostrich from somewhere

Funny enough the video says it eas uploaded in 2021 but theres comments from 10 years ago 😂
Why are Pluto, & Goofy both dogs?
creative choices, obviously
They were developed from being background characters and both just so happened to be dogs in completely different formats.
the best character ever

My favorite animator from Disney!
This is why I love "Lady and the Tramp." They move like actual dogs.
