Prod. 2004 - Fantasia (V) - Seq. 5.2 (Nutcracker Suite: Dance Chinese)
This sequence I want to present by itself. Many find it their favorite single sequence, with 96-02 ft. of classical movie magic (1 minute 4 seconds 2 frames) by Art Babbitt. Effects by Cornett Wood, Frank Follmer, Sandy Strother and Tom Barnes.
Note also that this draft includes the director's pick-up date, 10/16/39. This is, I believe, the date that the storyboard was issued to the director.

The assistant director is probably Norman Wright.
Wright = Norman Wright, Bambi sequence director?
It's curious that assistant directors Graham Heid and Norman Wright have a "story development" credit in the movie program (and in the on-screen credits in recent releases of the film).
I wonder if they actually did some story work or if they got the "story develpment" credit for their work as assistant directors.
Ah yes, Art Babbitt's charming Mushroom dance, I always liked the small fungus moving around, as if he's the leader!
Classic animation, even though it's only 96ft worth of excellent animation!
