About Me
- Name: Hans Perk
Interested in animation since 1975, worked in Holland with Danish animator Børge Ring for four years (incl. on the Oscar-winning 'Anna & Bella'), then moved to Denmark in 1984. In SoCal since 2019.
Co-founder in 1988 of A. Film, Europe's foremost animation studio, in business for over 30 years. We are the studio behind 'The Flight before Christmas', 'Help! I'm a Fish', 'Asterix and the Vikings', 'Checkered Ninja' and many more...
Currently the President and CEO of A. Film L.A., Inc. in Los Angeles,
and director of "Miffy the Movie."
Though we are very involved in new techniques, I share a deep passion for Great Classical Animation with everyone at the studio;
Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston's "Illusion of Life" is our bible.

Sam Armstrong? Figures. Out of the entire film, this feels the most like an artsy Fantasia sequence.
Jerry Hathcock is a surprise.
And I must say, that recording is pretty neat too! (It wasn't loading right when I wrote my other comment.)
If I'm not mistaken, this is the only song in ther film performed by The Kings Men. The 'Sportsmen', with Thurl Ravenscroft, do "Look out for Mr. Stork" and "Casey Junior".
The type-written original production labels clearly identify the artists as The King's Men on the "Stork Song" and the "Song of the Rousta." Actually, on the latter it says "King's Men et al."
Notice in scene 42 there's a vast difference in animation quality between Dumbo and his mother. Presumably C. Smith animated Dumbo and Steve Bosustow animated Mrs Jumbo.
Also, a long shot seems to have been inserted between 23 and 24 (alternatively, scene 24 was divided into two different scenes from different angles) some time after the draft was made.
A lot of animators are credited in this big sequence, and I wasn't suprised to see that Jack Campbell animated the roustabouts, so much he contributed to the sequence, and I notice a lot of Sandy Strother, Stephen Bosustow, John Reed? Wow, a lot of uncredited people on this sequence.
I've always liked the character Casey Jr, and its animated by Don Patterson, Paul Kossoff and Don Tobin, now I have new animated heroes?
There seems to have been a distinction made between the named effects animators and the unnamed "Special Efx" animators - presumably the former animated "props" and the latter animated the rainfall?
Hallo. Is there any way that you could make the audio available for download? It's really pretty cool. Dumbo is such an amazing film.
Thanks,

Hi Jonathan! Thanks for being the second person to comment on the audio. I am REALLY surprised that I have not had more reactions to it, it never having been heard like this before.
That said, I do not really want to get into trouble with music publishers, ASCAP etc, as they are a powerful bunch. This is why I did not just add a link for downloading. I hope you can see my concerns!

Yeah, I'm all for copyrights and creators getting their due, but it's too bad that sometimes it means thing go unpublished, I'll just have to visit this page whenever I want to listen to it!
I am surprised as well! I love hearing/seeing stuff like that, the magic of the making. It's amazing how it goes from normal talking and noise, to unified music that we all know and love, haha.
Anyways, thanks for your blog, its a great inspiration.

You forgot to mention Ugo D'Orsi as effect animator in this sequence.
Notice that in Scene 48 is credited to Sandy Strother and it is 2-07 worth of footage and that scene is a deleted scene!
