The First True Animation…EVER.
In 1911, artist Winsor McCay directed a silent short film (below) that detailed the behind-the-scenes process of creating one of the most popular comic books of the time, “Little Nemo”. The film is mainly made up of Winsor drawing his iconic characters…but if you skip ahead to about 8:11, you can see what experts say is the first true animation ever created.

Finding A Lost Art Form: The Making Of “Snow White”
Go back to a simpler time with this official Disney doc about the making of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”…a time when writers sat at typewriters with huge cigars hanging out of their mouths, and when hundreds of “pretty girls, in a building all their own, well-lighted and air-conditioned throughout”, colored each individual frame of the film.
And keep your eyes peeled at the 6:00 mins mark for the Mickey and Minnie characters at the film’s premiere…SCARY!

Not Your Garden Variety Greek Tragedy
You should know by now that I’ll love any fruit & veggie reenactment of classic literature when the main character is portrayed by a potato!
