I completely forgot you directed brother bear. That movie is a masterpiece and deserves sooo much love. Also I wish we could also get our hands on Maquettes that were made from the original sculpt/mold for some of these old disney animated movies.
taking a sculpture maquette class would have been awesome. I got to learn animation from Phil Young, and he was doing a maquette class at my local college, but sadly passed away due to covid complications. Never got to take his course...he did teach me a lot though and I loved him as a teacher.
I'm really upset Disney doesn't release pieces like this in large production for collectors. I absolutely love Beast, and it's damn near impossible to find an acceptable figure or statue of Beast that's accurate in likeness. Bandai does this with anime and comic characters regularly. Not sure why Disney hasn't gotten up to speed on something like this.
@JordanWheeler1999 That's not the point. They could make a lot of money off of these for merchandising. Do you have any idea how popular anime figures are in Japan? Hugely popular. And companies like Bandai produce quality pieces with spot-on character likeness the size of these maquettes for dirt cheap, and that's where a huge percentage of Bandai's revenue comes from.
@JordanWheeler1999 And just to say, all the figures/statues I've seen that are amazing for Beast's likeness have been from Bandai and Medicom Toy (both Japanse companies); with the exception of Jim Shore from the US. Who has only done a handful.
@@Kay_The_Coffee_Weirdo are you not following what Disney does? Japan has NOTHING to do with Disney tho. stop conceited/projecting things on to me/others because you don't want to hear what out feedback to your outrageous backlash.
I've seen a few artists who use 3D Models instead of IRL sculptures. What do you think? Is there a noticeable difference between using a "Virtual" Maquett vs. one you can actually touch and rotate with your own hands?
I absolutely love hearing about the details of your job and the people you worked with. And hearing you mention that you worked on some of my favourite characters is just really making me happy in many ways.
0:58 I can totally relate. I have a hard time seeing my dinosaurs in my mind whenever I sketch them. So, I'm sculpting my own maquettes, just like James Gurney.
I absolutely adore these kinds of videos. They're so interesting, relaxing and also truly makes me believe that everything is going to be okay. Maybe that sounds cheesy, but hey, it's true! I could listen to you talk about anything Disney/animation related for hours, Aaron! Thank you
Hey Aaron- Never seen the one from Brother Bear before. Impressive!! I have Scar, Mufasa, Pocahontas and John Smith, so if you want to do another episode like this at some point, you're welcome to borrow them when you're in the area (maybe if you swing by to see Darko and Mirjana at FAVO one of these days. They have my #). -Jen O.
I took an entertainment illustration class, and maquettes were one of the assignments we had! I really want to take that class again and put in the new knowledge I have!
I have to ask: where can a self-taught animator with no budget whatsoever get these made for their own projects? xD I'm kinda joking, but they do look INSANELY useful! And also just VERY COOL in general. Love the Nala one in particular; she's one of my favourite characters in general, too. Thanks so much for showing them :D
I really want to send this video to anyone who thinks real artists don't use references. I mean, I know you show that very often when you're painting, but still!
I absolutely love these!!! I remember when you shared your maquettes a number of years back. I simply adored those! These are just priceless! Thanks Aaron! You’re such an inspiration and I’ve followed you for some time now. You’ve been such a mentor and a great teacher! You truly are part of the second part of the “Nine old men” and, as I call it, The New Renaissance Bunch. With Glen, Mark, Andreas, Goldberg! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing the maquettes, we started modeling those in my game design studies, so we could learn objects in 3D spaces for the 3D games we made. Super interesting work to create a fictional character within our haptic reality. Stay curious!
Raja the tiger from "Aladdin" looks almost exactly like Shere Khan from the 1967 animated Disney film "The Jungle Book". Did Aaron use that character as a model for Raja?🤔
Hello! How are you doing Mr. Blaise? I hope all is great. Love all your maquettes, they are so beautiful, from Raja to Koda and Kenai, and of course that amazing Mother Bear. And Yao!! He is one of My favorite characters. Sculpture is one of My favorite things, and looking at some of My favorite characters and how they were used to draw and animate our beloved movies is so special. I took sculpture in art school (which sadly couldnt finish) and then as a workshop, and I think I was always a goal to create for animation too Now I am really inspired to continue studying and creating by myself...just to start: My grizzly bear I was doing when the workshop ended. Of course compared to mother bear is tiny and looks it has never eaten hehe Thank You for showing your collection And thank You for inspiring with your art.
Thank you so much for sharing these treasures with us. I wish I were a little mouse to see how the 2D movies was made, and the use of these maquettes. I remember the maquette of the Beast displayed in the attraction Art of Animation at Disneyland Paris, it was so impressive, all in movement (kinda like the one of Koda's mum *o*). I would love an exhibition around the world displaying all the maquettes that were made ^^
You're right, the sequence with the mother bear is stunning and deserves a spot in the hall of fame! Did you get a 3d print of the snow bear sculpt or anything like that?
I wonder if there is more information about Shirley Soderstrom and her work in the Disney modeling department. It is my understanding she worked on Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia and Bambi making maquettes.
That's beautiful :) Looking forward for today's live stream. I hope it will also be animating on paper, and very much looking forward to your course on Procreate Dreams and your thoughts about it :)
hey Arron, i've been watching your content for a while now and i'm intrested in what animations you find cool that are pretty obscure. and if your down for a foreign watch id suggest 'dead leaves' by studio trigger, its pretty old so the quality not very good, and the humours real raunchy but its one of the best animated piece's ive seen, though im pretty sure its the polar opposite of your style anyway cool maquettes
I found absolutely ZERO information about Roon Bennecke online, even though Aaron Blaise says he's one of the best animators world wide. also Roon Bennecke is not mentioned in the animator team that worked on Brother bears... ???

because they are sooo invested in 3d animation thanks to pixar. now that they don't need sculptures anymore

Oh my goodness, I would die to have one of those!!!! Beautiful pieces!

6:31 is he the same Byron Howard who directed Encanto and Zootopia..?! He's such a wonderful, talented guy 😍
Thanks for sharing

How did you make those? They are so fabulous! I kinda wanna make a few😂
Got a question, did Disney ever made replicas of those maquettes for sale? Would be nice to have some Brother Bear statues for display.
It would be great to have one of Scar
te vejo como figura paterna!
What are your maquettes made from. I’m a sculptor and I’m interested in creating maquettes for my 2D animations.
Was one ever made for Nani?
Coolness,thanks,stay blessed all in Jesus shalom
any for sale?
