cool disney stuff

It's kind of weird I'm doing a movie about walt disney since I am not nearly as into the canon of disney classics as most of the american population is. Fantasia is amazing though. It's one of my favorite movies ever. And there are not a lot of those. I found this really nice youtube comment a while ago that someone left underneath a clip of fantasia:

Chin up! There are still cartoonists in the world who cherish the beautiful capabilities of this art form. Yes, films like this are no longer in the mainstream now a days, but we can't say it will never come again.

True artists are still out there and still working to bring art like this into the world. It's up to us as an audience to support true quality and bring it back.

The past is not something to mourn, it is a chance for us to learn so we can make our futures better.


 nice right? Well heres some clips of some disney stuff that I personally like.

Mousing

So I decided I want to purchase a mouse to use in my walt disney movie. The mouse will be walt's constant companion which he confides in.

I've been doing mouse research, and apparently its a better idea to buy a mouse from a breeder than a pet store because they are easier to hand train. I found this breeder in nyc. I'll write him an email once it gets closer to school. http://www.mikiodo.com/mice/

Also, I will be purchasing 2 mice, one will be the understudy. I'm trying to come up with good mouse names. So far meg has suggested "ennio mousiconne" which rules, because I love ennio morricone, and on occasion I can enjoy a good pun. I mean technically I could name them mickey and minnie but thats kind of lame. Maybe babybel, after those delicious miniature cheese wheels..... mmmmmm

UPDATE: the mice will be named Ennio Mousiconne and Hunka Munka (after a beatrix potter character)

Disney research

Here's some stuff from books I've been scanning

 

This last one is just because the cover is so cool and it's got barbarella on it.

Disney research

The other day I checked out a handful of books so that I could start research for the disney bio-pic. I got books of his art and comics, books on interior design from the 40's, and this really awesome book called film and the american moral vision of nature. This book rules. It's about how images and films have constructed the american idea of nature and the way we interact with it. I thought it'd be useful since one of the main conflicts of the movie is between walt and nature.

Walter Elias Disney

I'm thinking about naming my walt disney bio-pic "Walter Elias Disney", needless to say, that's walt disney's full name. Here I am listing research I am doing for the movie.

1940's Interior Design
Art Deco Info
Acetate Animation
History of Animation
Winsor Mccay Centaurs

Maybe walt disney's wife will in secret be an amazing cartoonist and will be leaving walt drawings during his freakout that he will think are a gift from whatever secret source he is in contact with (aliens, nature).
