Walt Disney Studios - Bambi (1942)
Bambi Character Movement Model Sheet Drawing and Animation Drawing Pair (Walt Disney, 1942). From Disney's 5th animated feature film, Bambi, comes this lovely pair of a practice movement model sheet with an original animation drawing both featuring deer. Although the team had animated deer in Snow White, Walt Disney wanted the animals in Bambi to be more realistic and expressive. He had Rico LeBrun, a painter of animals, come and lecture to the animators on the structure and movement of animals, and also set up a small zoo at the studio with animals such as rabbits, ducks, owls, and skunks, and a pair of fawns named Bambi and Faline so that the artists could see first-hand the movement of these animals. The model sheet is an animator's practice study of movement, specifically the gallops and bounds made by deer when they run. Each of the 14 figures on the sheet are full-figured ranging in size from 1" x 1.5" to 3.5" x 1.75". The animation drawing features young Bambi running in the distance, similar to the scene viewed at 31:39 where he escapes the spring meadow with his mother and the buck; he measures approximately 1" x 1" and a production code in the lower right reads B17. Both sheets of drawings have been masterfully rendered in graphite, Bambi's also uses red pencil, on 16 field animation paper. With typical handling and wear including light age-related toning and faint corner creasing, this lot is in Very Good condition. HID09710052018 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
