Frank Thomas - Disney Family Album Part 3

well there was something on both sides because peter pan was going to be the hero in conquering this villain a guy who is very goofy here wouldn't be effective so you had to think of a character that would never stick together through the whole thing , continued my dear, I must bombard Peeta, ma'am, Captain Hook gives his word not to lay a finger or a joke on Peter Peck's hangman's tree, so that's the entrance to his identification. stepmother she was the fourth in the whole process she had to be believable she had to look real to the audience even though it was far from real and she had to match the drawing of Cinderella and the stepsisters to make the stepmother as believable as possible Frank studied eleanor audley reference movie voice characters we have dressed her for the recent movie of hers i would study and study to try and figure out what

part

she could use and what

part

wouldn't work but she was very good she was austere when she had to be there a large rug in the main room clean it and the window is up and look at them oh yes and the tapestry and the curtains but I filled them up again I don't forget the garden then mop up the terrace sweep the corridors and the stairs clean the fireplaces and of course it's there the mending and the sewing and the laundry oh yeah and one more thing watch Lucifer take a bath Frank the same technique was used with a Mickey Mouse voice Walt Disney Walt no I don't want to be in front of a camera and he said well finally well yeah you're in the booth over there and i can't see you and i don't know what's going on, i guess you do.

The day he wore a funny broken old hat and his older clothes would be very comfortable when he voice couldn't help but feel this no oh you're you're not you you know all these little gestures due to spontaneous preparation you know you could see them when it was kid's dream of himself finding himself there and he held out his hand so there's only time we knew how big he won't think mickey was

disney

animators were the best in the business and credits to

frank

the boss with doing his best you know that the most important thing in your life was to please the walls now that wasn't because he was the boss or because you had some special relationship with him, he just had an air about him that you wanted to please this man, the other thing I think even Lord Partner was that he took out of you what he thought you thought you could do and made you believe it even though you said I don't know how to do that.

How am I going to do it? Frank found himself asking that very question while working on Mary Poppins, well the problem we had was that Bob Stevenson who is doing the live action told me don't worry about the animation you just get your part as good as you can, so when I go on stage I'd say where I'm going to put my penguin. I see this striped bird ain't gonna work and then they'll all drop like Dick Van Dyke in the stitches of history, you know? When I got the movie of Dick doing the dance here, his feet fly all over the place stepping on my penguins and you, you animated penguin drawing after drawing after drawing after drawing only to get stepped on when he gets here how you gonna do it? know in advance where it's going to be on his penis Van Dyke is going to be.

I was losing more penguins there, hey I had them dark and I made them jump and made them go all the way anyway, but all that work won't try for the club forced us to be more imaginative and we were able to get to the result, actually it's quite different from what's on the storyboard, but I think it works fine. Everyone thinks that the world is made of gangsters. You are not the only one of you who could write a lullaby or a love story or a romance in a picture. You don't want gags gags gags. your photos before the audience to identify where the moon stunt never forgot this one its endearing characters became the heart of Disney animation got the costume the house is not buy one in this lovely down a slide we loved the war we will find one enchanted the night will leave its magical wondrous love easily Oh in this love like the entertainer who always cared deeply about whatever he was doing Frank Thomas loves animation because it brings together everything he loves about life I'm not sure he would have been satisfied just as a musician or just as an actor or just as something else, but that's the thing about animation - it gave you the opportunity to use all these interests working together, everyone helped each other, but I was very lucky to be in the right place at the right time and be able to live this kind of life
