This FINAL draft dated 1/18/49.
The final page of the Ichabod draft shows animation by Ken O'Brien and Hugh Fraser, with effects by Eustace Lycett, Ed(win) Aardal and George Rowley.
This concludes the film - but we haven't even started it!
So - next up: Toad!
Now that I've seen the drafts to both Ichabod and Pecos Bill, I can die happily! Thankyou very much! y two favorite Disney cartoons.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't heard much about Eusatce Lycett, have we?
Eustace Lycett later worked in the Special Process at Disney, and became a special effects guy through the 1960's and 1970's working on Disney live action films.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's been interesting viewing these drafts - but the show is not over yet.
Surprised to see Marc Davis didn't animate Katrina. Since he's not credited as a directing animator it seems highly unlikely that he did work on the character without being mentioned in the draft.
ReplyDeleteThe casting in general was a big surprise for me: I expected more casting-by-character.
Zartok-35: of course we haven't: it was my fumbling fingers that spelled his first name wrong! (Not a good thing for someone who is a stickler for spelling!) But even then!
ReplyDeleteAlberto Becattini only had a single credit for Eustace Lycett, as Special Effects on Sleeping Beauty.
Speaking of Alberto, has anyone seen if his pages have been moved? The domain for original location seems to have expired. You can find a temporary depository of them under my link on this blog. Not the latest update, though...
No Mr. Toad draft being posted?
ReplyDeleteSoon, Steven! I've never been this busy!
