Beginning my newly-created resolution to read through all of Bill Peet's work, and his book Huge Harold is such a delight. His craft in ink and colored pencil feels like being bundled up in a warm, nostalgic blanket.
Also featuring Them:

Some 101 Dalmatians storyboards by Bill Peet (a film he boarded entirely by himself)
To date, Bill Peet is the only story artist to have boarded an entire Disney animated feature by himself (which he did twice for 101 Dalmatians and The Sword in the Stone). Walt Disney delivered to Peet a copy of Dodie Smith’s book The Hundred and One Dalmatians, asking him to read it to possibly adapt into an animated feature. During this time, Walt was busy with a myriad of other projects, such as Disneyland, live-action features, and television, and he entrusted Peet to handle the story alone on these features during his absence, indicating Walt’s high approval and deep trust of Peet’s abilities. Upon Walt’s request, Peet wrote the script for 101 Dalmatians (which was something that had not been done previously on other animated features at the company), did all the storyboards, and even cast and directed the voice actors.
“I worked alone on the film until it was ready for the director, and Walt agreed with everything, and it was ready to go. I was moved on to the director’s unit. There was no overlap.”
When Peet got into an argument with director Clyde “Gerry” Geronimi over a voice audition, Walt stuck by Peet and replaced Geronimi on the project.
“I said, ‘Look, I’ll go back upstairs and stick with my storyboard work! I’ve got plenty of things to do. To hell with this recording!’ I just blew up. Walt looks at me and says, ‘Aw, come on now, Bill.’ He sticks out his hand and he says, ‘Shake. We don��t want to fight, do we?’ I was amazed.”
Of all the films Peet worked on, he cited 101 Dalmatians as his favorite. To this day, he is considered by many to be Disney’s greatest story artist. When asked years later if there were any other Disney storymen as good as he, he quickly responded with, “Nobody!”

Our next "Smaugust" Dragon is Droofus the dragon, from the excellent children's book by Bill Peet: How Droofus the Dragon Lost his Head.
Bill Peet did some excellent design work, and even worked for Disney during their golden and silver eras--especially on the Sword in the Stone and 101 Dalmatians.
Anyway! I highly recommend the book to anyone with little kiddos~ It's all about being friendly and kind.
Droofus here is walking alongside tomorrow's dragon: she is another dragon who hails from a book, is also blue, and also befriends a farm boy.

I just want to share some of these color boards Bill Peet did for Song of the South because they are gorgeous. Some of the best and prettiest storyboards you’ll ever see! Just great draftsmanship and great appeal in his characters.

New substack newsletter! This one ended up being a lot of big thoughts about something I don't know much about: large and small animation studios. I think I misrepresented how smoothly things went for the Iron Circus Comics team during the making of the Lackadaisy animation, but my point is more about the market for large and small ventures.
Anyway, if you are following this blog my monsters, you can follow the #WeirdTinyMonsters tag or block #Ecruvian substack to clean up your feed!

🐆 Similarly to what I did last night, today I looked through another blog post on Andreas Deja’s animation blog in which he showcased some of Milt Kahl’s rough animation drawings of Bagheera in “The Jungle Book”. They are of the scene early on in the movie where Bagheera orders Mowgli to climb a tree to sleep in for the night: “Go on, up you go.” I even looked some other Milt Kahl drawings of Bagheera which showed how the animator observed how actor Sebastian Cabot read his lines as Bagheera during recording sessions for “Jungle Book”. Another one of Bagheera’s main animators was Ollie Johnston, whose scenes included the panther’s discovery of Mowgli, taking him to the wolves den, his nighttime discussion with Baloo, and his heart eulogy thinking that Baloo was killed by Shere Khan. Yesterday was the 56th anniversary of Disney’s “The Jungle Book”. #Disney100

Anyone else grow up with Bill Peet books? I wish I were big bad bruce sleeping in front of the witch's fire so bad, but I feel like that might be a reference that I'm like... 50 years too late for and most of yall are 5-10 years younger than me so nobody knows I'm talking about.
