Based on my posting of the draft of the 1932 Mickey short Klondike Kid, Jeff Watson sent me these mosaics to post here, and we can only say Thanks, Jeff!
Hey Hans! Great site! I was surprised to see Giles ( Frenchy) de Tremaudan's name mentioned as an animator on the mosaic. A while back I was doing some research in the ARL and read some of the story notes on a bunch of unproduced shorts. In one ( a pretty lame pitch for a haunted house story , to be honest) Walt berates Frenchy for not being original enough and basically tells him to shape up or get out. Then he asks for Barks and Reeves ( "who always have fresh ideas cooking") . So my question: Was de Tremaudan both animator and storyartist? Wilbert Plijnaar
Thanks Jeff for the mosaic - I'm an absolute junkie for the old B&W Mickey's. This, of course, is a great one.
