When You're the Best of Friends - Disney Challenge #5
So, I never knew this, but The Fox and the Hound was actually based on a book. From what it sounds like, Disney, as usual, took a lot of liberties with the material. For instance, in the book Copper is the older dog and Chief is the new, young dog that starts to take his place, Tod is raised by one of the hunters who killed his mother rather than a kindly old woman, Tod and Copper are never friends, and there is no happy ending.
Personally I like the happier stories that Disney comes up with. What about you? If you've read the book how did you like it compared to what Disney created?

Sing Sweet Nightingale - Disney Challenge #4
Number four of the Disney Song Challenge!
So, when I looked up reference for Cinderella I stumbled upon an article that said Carly Rae Jepsen, the singer of Call Me Maybe, has been playing Cinderella in the Broadway musical. I know that big names help bring in the crowds, and the crowds are what keep Broadway going, but it always saddens me a bit when stage trained actors/singers are passed up for the sake of big names.. Not that Carly Rae Jepsen is bad, but she's not Laura Osnes (the last actress to play Cinderella)
In other news I found out that Anastasia the musical is still going to happen! If you haven't seen the 1997 film that it's going to be based on, I highly recommend it!
Anyway, back to Disney. Cinderella was released in 1950, this was shortly after World War II had ended. During the WWII Walt Disney had been creating propaganda for the the American war effort and had not created a full length movie since 1942. To keep costs down in the animation department they used live references for about 90% of the film.
Pictured below is Helene Stanley, the live action model for Cinderella, as well as Aurora in Sleeping Beauty and Anita in 101 Dalmatians.
I always think it's fun to see behind the scenes pictures and footage from movies.
The next Disney challenge is Best of Friends from The Fox and the Hound. If you decide to do the Disney Song Challenge along with me, let me know! I'd love to follow along with your work.

A Star Is Born - Disney Challenge
Number three of the Disney Song Challenge! I had to watch the movie while I was drawing this, and I gotta tell you, I have always loved Susan Egan as Megara. She plays sassy really well. She also was the first actress to play Belle in the Broadway musical of Beauty and the Beast ^_^ but I digress, I felt Hades needed a good punch in the face, so I made it happen.

100 Disney Song Challenge
Years ago I came across a challenge called 75 Disney Song Theme Challenge on deviantArt where you create a drawing based on each of the Disney songs in the list. I got through all of two songs before starting college and having all sorts of other projects to do. Today I was thinking about what to draw and remembered this challenge from long ago. I have decided to try to do it again! I may only get another two done... but at least I'll have fun doing it.
I have changed up the challenge a bit. It is now 100 songs, most of which are from the original challenge, but I've added quite a few and taken out some that I wasn't interested in. If you would like to join in, you are more than welcome to! If you would like to see the original challenge the link is here.

The Pursuit of the Questionable...
This is an old animation I created for a class. It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed the story I created :)

My Very First Animation
This is an animation that I did a few years ago. I had never animated before and I had never used Flash before. It could use some cleaning up, but the story still makes me laugh ^_^
