Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes Volume 1 For nearly thirty years, the artists that passed through the gates of Disney Animation, and even non-artists like myself, were infl uenced by the craft, skill, wisdom, writings and sketches of Walt Stanchfi eld. — Roy Disney Walt was a kind of Mark Twain for us at Disney. He always taught with humor and skill. You learned to see the world through his eyes. I remember him one day encouraging us to leap into our drawings with boldness and confi dence, “ Don’t be afraid to make a mistake. We all have 10,000 bad drawings in us so the sooner you get them out the better! ” Sitting in Walt’s class was as much a psychology course as it was a drawing class. One couldn’t help walk away with your mind and soul a little more open than when you entered. — Glen Keane, Walt Disney Animation Studios Walt Stanchfi eld’s classes and writings were little distillations of the man: quirky, strongly stated in a genial voice, and brimming with a lifetime of sharp observations about story telling and graphic communication. Whether he drew with a ball point pen or painted with a brush dipped in his coffee cup, he got to the essence of things and was eager to share what he learned with his eager disciples, myself among them. He was grizzled and he was great and proof that there was more than one Walt at the Disney Studio that could inspire a legion of artists. — John Musker, Walt Disney Animation Studios Walt Stanchfi eld was one of Disney Animation’s national treasures. His classes and notes have inspired countless animation artists, and his approach to drawing of caricature over reality, feeling over rote accuracy, and com- munication over photographic reproduction gets to the heart of what great animation is all about. Huzzah to Don Hahn for putting it all together for us! — Eric Goldberg, Walt Disney Animation Studios During the Animation Renaissance of the 1990s, one of the Walt Disney Studio’s best kept secrets was Walt Stanchfi eld. Once a week after work, this aged but agile fi gure jumped from drawing board to drawing board, patiently teaching us the principles behind the high baroque style of Walt Disney Animation drawing. Being in a room with Walt made you feel what it must have been like to have been taught by Don Graham. Having one of your life drawings be good enough to be reproduced in one of his little homemade weekly bulletins was akin to getting a Distinguished Service medal! Senior animators vied with trainees for that distinction. — Tom Sito, Animator/Filmmaker/Author of Drawing The Line: The Untold Story of the Animation Unions from Bosko to Bart Simpson This exciting collection of master classes by the great teacher Walt Stanchfi eld is destined to become a classic on the order of Kimon Nicolaides ’ exploration of the drawing process. Stanchfi eld (1919 – 2000) inspired several generations of Disney animators and those of us outside the studio fortunate enough to happen upon dog-eared copies of his conversational notes, which we passed around like Leonardo’s Codex Leicester. Stanchfi eld beauti- fully communicates the essence and joy of expressing ideas through the graphic line and accumulating a visual vocabulary. Drawn to Life is a treasure trove of cogent, valuable information for students, teachers and anyone who loves to draw. — John Canemaker, NYU professor and Academy Award ® -winning animation fi lmmaker Walt Stanchfi eld, in his own unique way, taught so many of us about drawing, caricature, motion, acting, and ani- mation. Most important to me was how Walt made you apply what you had observed in his life drawing class to your animation. Disney Animation is based on real life, and in that regard Walt Stanchfi eld’s philosophy echoed Walt Disney’s: “ We cannot caricature and animate anything convincingly until we study the real thing fi rst. ” — Andreas Deja, Walt Disney Animation Studios Walt Stanchfi eld’s renewed emphasis on draftsmanship at the Disney Studios transformed the seemingly mori- bund art of animation. His students were part of a renaissance with The Little Mermaid and Who Framed Roger Rabbit, a renaissance that continues with fi lms ranging from The Iron Giant to Lilo and Stitch to Wall-E. — Charles Solomon, Animation Historian 01_K81096_DED1.indd i 3/4/2009 6:05:00 PM 01_K81096_DED1.indd ii 3/4/2009 6:05:00 PM DRAWN TO LIFE 02_K81096_Prelims.indd iii 3/12/2009 12:21:43 PM 02_K81096_Prelims.indd iv 3/12/2009 12:21:46 PM THE WALT STANCHFIELD LECTURES: VOLUME ONE DRAWN TO LIFE 20 GOLDEN YEARS OF DISNEY MASTER CLASSES Walt Stanchfi eld Edited by Don Hahn 02_K81096_Prelims.indd v 3/12/2009 12:21:58 PM First published 2013 by Focal Press 70 Blanchard Road, Suite 402, Burlington, MA 01803 Simultaneously published in the UK by Focal Press 2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN Focal Press is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business Copyright © 2013, Dee Stanchf ield.

I would also like to thank the Walt Disney Company, for releasing the movies that became my current material for analysis; my parents, for once taking me to the theater to see them; and Prof. dr. Àngels Carabí Ribera, who teaches at the University of Barcelona, for introducing me to “a whole new world” of gender studies to analyze them. In addition, Sebastian Loll deserves special mention for pointing to Donald Duck‟s collision with fascism, while Kasper Malfroid has spared me the desperation of trying to subdue Microsoft Office.

  • The World of Glen Keane San Francisco, CA, January 10, 2018
    The Walt Disney Family Museum Presents Make Believe: The World of Glen Keane San Francisco, CA, January 10, 2018 – The Walt Disney Family Museum is proud to introduce its newest original exhibition, Make Believe: The World of Glen Keane, showcasing the work of this critical Disney animator and artist. Keane’s dynamic artistic talent brings to life some of the most unforgettable characters of our time, from the imposing Beast and fearless Tarzan, to the daring heroines Ariel, Pocahontas, and Rapunzel. The exhibition, curated by Glen Keane in partnership with Michael Labrie, the museum’s Director of Collections and Exhibitions, opens on March 8, 2018 in the museum’s Theater Gallery and will be on view through September 3, 2018. This unique exhibition showcases hand-drawn animation and maquettes of Keane’s most iconic Disney characters, from earlier films, including The Fox and the Hound (1981), to more recent works, such as Tangled (2010). Keane’s methodical approach to his work, honed during a 40- year-career that has witnessed profound technological changes in the field of animation, led to a period now recognized as the Disney animation renaissance. Make Believe features images and animation sketches from numerous films, including The Little Mermaid (1989), Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), Pocahontas (1995), and Tarzan (1999). Of special interest, also on view in this exhibition are Keane’s personal works, many of which emerged from dynamic partnerships. Visitors can get a rare glimpse into Keane’s collaboration with the Paris Opéra (Nephtali), his embracing of innovation and technology with Google on Duet, and his recent 2017 collaboration with Kobe Bryant and legendary composer John Williams on Dear Basketball.

Contact: [email protected] 2-D or Not 2-D? How the Iris Closed on Hand-Drawn Feature Animation By Thad Komorowski The Digital Age We Live In In just 20 years, an entire industry went from an all-time zenith to complete annihilation. As the art of 3-D computer-generated imagery triumphed, the hand-drawn animated feature’s position sunk from its position as a centerpiece of mainstream entertainment to a dank corner of seeming nonexistence. For the last decade, acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki has swam against that prevailing cultural tide by making animated feature films with 2-D hand-drawn animation. Films like Howl’s Moving Castle (2004) and Ponyo (2008) exemplify how poetic, dreamlike fantasy is still capable in animation without using pixels to pixilate. Yet time, economics and, seemingly, public taste have finally caught up with Miyazaki. In November, he announced his retirement and confirmed that his Studio Ghibli has put the kibosh on feature film production. After last year’s The Wind Rises, the 73-year-old director accepts the reality that is a disheartening future for the art form he holds dearest: “I do think the era of pencil, paper and film is coming to an end.” One of the gem scenes from Hayao Miyazaki’s Ponyo might have cried for CGI effects in another filmmaker’s movie.

SUNSHINE A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts Digital Production Arts by Katherine Elizabeth Crossan December 2019 Accepted by: Professor David Donar, Committee Chair Professor Kathleen Thum Professor Anthony Summey ABSTRACT Sunshine is a story about growing up. It’s a story that I feel is important to tell, because it’s a hardship that everyone can relate to. By sharing a story that other people can understand, I can create a connection between myself and my audience; or a feeling of empathy. I chose to tell this story through film, so I could share my story primarily through images, or visual narrative. Sunshine is currently in its animatic state, which is the preliminary version of the film. The animatic, or story reel, consists of the film’s storyboards put together and timed out in a video format, and includes a scratch track of the voices and sounds in the film. In this paper, I will be discussing some of the foundations of creating a visual narrative; including the process of story development and character creation, the necessity of storyboarding and its principles in conveying stories, and the digital tools and process that I used to create and assemble the final story reel.

The Magic Behind the Magic: Discovering Why The Walt Disney Company is so Successful Abstract One might not realize the empire standing behind the brand name “Disney” and what has gone into the creation of such a multifaceted business model that is leading the industry. While Disney, officially called Thealt W Disney Company, has hand-crafted every element of the magical experiences and creations they put forward, there is an underlying business model and leadership skill-set that has brought the company ahead of the rest. It is within the social sciences that we can focus on this model and how it affects the estr of the film and mass media companies who strive to mimic the enterprise that is second to none. I argue that there is a “magic,” a defining factor, behind the constructed ‘magic’ Disney puts forward.
