As a connoisseur of the movie myself (best animated film of all time IMO) I must say you captured those scenes fantastically. Like if Dumbo were to be remade with better technology with its coloring and such, YOU would be the person I'd hire for the remake as the Animation Director. Your scenes are like on model with the moments you have shown off.BlazeHeartPantherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14743175116451390621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-2057909392099677872017-12-01T18:36:24.287-08:002017-12-01T18:36:24.287-08:00I remember seeing this on Disney's Sunday nigh...I remember seeing this on Disney's Sunday night "THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY" program.

We stood in line to get one of your amazing prints, but sadly for us you had just sold out (amazing for you!) We did get to speak with you, so that was wonderful! He was so sad about the print, I am hoping to find one to surprise him for Christmas. I recall your manager stating that you may be printing more and selling them. Do you know when that will happen and where? <br /><br />Thank you for being a part of Duckburg! We love the artwork and are thoroughly enjoying the reboot as well!

Anyone with an eagle eye caught in the first thirty seconds the use of dots for shading, a subtle call-out to the print comic source material - and throughout, at times, it almost had the feel of layers, like an old plane camera effect.<br /><br />That said, the new team managed to both be clean, minimal of line and detail (the exterior of Atlantis, Glomgold's ship (which somehow transformed into a submarine...still shaking my head over that plot hole) and yet drop in enough Easter eggs to keep the fan community drooling for weeks.<br /><br />You should have fun Saturday at the D23 event.

As to what exactly has influenced the new generation, you should speak to those artists themselves as I would not want to second guess where they might have gotten any ideas from. I did notice some elements from my old concepts leaking into the new show. They took my design of Scrooge's home as a Manor house for instance and then built on that as compared to the more rectangular version with columns from the original comics. The crew on the new DuckTales is superb and I expect we will be seeing lots of sharp entertaining episodes coming our way.mike perazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218832344478449495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-38963905479869880182017-07-25T23:31:07.936-07:002017-07-25T23:31:07.936-07:00By the time of The Black Cauldron we had access to...By the time of The Black Cauldron we had access to a much bigger palette of color for our xerox lines. During Fox and Hound we added a brown line that had been developed which aided us in a softer linear treatment for the two main stars. We had a light gray along with a dark gray line in the original Rescuers. The dark was mainly for the mice and Orville with the light gray for water effects.mike perazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218832344478449495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-20538389790203766122017-07-25T23:27:08.006-07:002017-07-25T23:27:08.006-07:00Thank you for writing Irvyne and I'm glad you ...Thank you for writing Irvyne and I'm glad you enjoyed my post.

I credit Don and his crew with keeping feature character animation alive, or at least giving a shot in the drawing arm of Disney Features. It was stagnant at the time and when Secret of NIMH came out it blew people away and showed audiences how much more they could achieve with stunning visuals.<br />That in turn directly lit a fire under the house of mouse to put more effort into their animated product , which they certainly did.<br />mike perazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218832344478449495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-86248113804330103712017-07-25T23:18:36.781-07:002017-07-25T23:18:36.781-07:00I believe you may get your wish to have a live act...I believe you may get your wish to have a live action remake of "The Black Cauldron" in the very near future Emma.<br />mike perazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09218832344478449495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-3222217448296286972017-07-17T12:58:58.123-07:002017-07-17T12:58:58.123-07:00Hi!

I would watch it everyday after school. You, Mr. Taylor(sorry to hear of his passing), and the rest did an outstanding job.<br /><br />I do wish a couple characters could've stayed; Debbie (Max's cousin from Leader of the Pack) and Ms. Pennypacker (Max's principle or Guidance Counselor from Date with Destiny). I would've loved to see Debbie trying to babysit Pistol and possibly acting like a big sister. With Ms. Pennypacker, I was glad to see Goofy possibly being dating someone. Max possibly getting a mother-figure and Peg with a gal pal would've been a bonus.<br /><br />I do have a few questions I hope you can answer.<br />1. What were Peg and Pistol? It's assumed they were cats since Pete and P.J. were cats in a world of dog-based people.<br />2. Does Ms. Pennypacker have a first name?<br />3. Is Debbie's last name Goof?<br /><br />Sorry for the long post. Thanks for all the work you put in on a favorite show of mine from my childhood.ThaManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404428321380396251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-68089015896935138952017-06-29T19:45:34.751-07:002017-06-29T19:45:34.751-07:00Mike: Admittedly we have very limited samples to c...Mike: Admittedly we have very limited samples to compare from, but it does seem that in design, the new show is looking a more simplistic, flatter background style, perhaps not as detail rich, so your eye is drawn more to the characters and the action? It's not necessarily better, or worse, just different. The style of DuckTales in 1987 was similar to the other, earlier WDTA series, and was a signature style for those shows until, arguably, Aladdin and beyond, when The Disney Afternoon was transitioning off syndication.<br /><br />Curious what your thoughts are as to what you see as the influences into this style. Nothing happens in a complete vacuum, so what other artistry positively influenced the next generation?<br /><br />Sadly, life prevents me from making it to Anaheim this year, so I hope after its premiere we'll get to see an image of your painting here.Donald Speirshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396927825343767996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5924533971138011276.post-67434828584669687542017-03-04T22:52:06.746-08:002017-03-04T22:52:06.746-08:00It was a pleasure to share them Jim.
