Prod. 2063 - Cinderella (XX)  - Seq. 06.0 - Epilogue

137138139
Directed by Ham Luske, laid out by Charles Philippi. Assistant director Larry Lansburgh, secretary Ruth Wright.
This final draft dated 9/22/49.

We continue George Rowley's bells from yesterday.
Then Dan MacManus'clock striking twelve.
Cindy and Prince by Les Clark.
King and Duke by Norm Ferguson.
Birds by Don Lusk.

That concludes the draft for Cinderella. With an eye on my usual disclaimer, we can say that the film does keep to a rather strict form for character casting, with few exceptions and few surprises. Still, i am glad to have been able to bring these to light here!

What's next? I really do not know. I am quite busy with the stop-motion movie i am directing. It may take a bit of time before I can get another large item up here. But I WILL be back soon, believe you me!

  1. Another fine read, with lots of great stuff to find out! Thankyou very much! Of all the drafts I hadn't seen, this is the one I was most interested in.

  2. Some surprises, yes. Ken O'Brien, who, as on the Sleeping Beauty credits, is listed last in the opening credits, does not appear on the draft. My guess is that one of the Cindy animators "re-issued" some scenesto him, but that this wasn't mentioned on the draft.

    I'm also surprised at how much Fergie animated - more than anything outside of Snow White. I assumed he animated Bruno (a sort of "fake main character"), but he also does substantial footage on the King and Duke.

  3. Hans thanks so for posting this. This seems to be the only source I know of that identifies which scenes each layout artist worked on.

  4. I'm in a middle of a school lesson. But I'm here to say thank you for posting the Cinderella draft much appreciated. Looking forward to the next draft.

    Oops, got to go! ;-)

  5. I think Ken O'Brien was busy with Alice in Wonderland so his animation was probably reissued to some of the animators and he didn't get any screen credit on Alice in Wonderland.
