Clark's scene was apparently considered okay. Anyway, part of the charm of a hand drawn cartoon is the slight variation between artists' rendition of a character. It makes it seem more like a work of art, not a machine made product.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559138404570089435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-58477873838089018212007-04-08T11:41:00.000-04:002007-04-08T11:41:00.000-04:00Personally, I'm not very keen on the way Les Clark...Personally, I'm not very keen on the way Les Clark draws Mickey's snout. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the way it connects to the rest of his head doesn't look quite right, and not as appealing as some of the other animators' drawings.<BR/><BR/>I too thought Lynn Karp was a woman for a long time. I guess if he had been, we'd have heard more about "her" because for a woman to be an animator was such a rarity at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-27045240504066241602007-04-08T07:32:00.000-04:002007-04-08T07:32:00.000-04:00I've expressed a lot of admiration for Les Clark f...I've expressed a lot of admiration for Les Clark for his work on shorts like The Little Whirlwind and The Symphony Hour. I agree that the shot of Pinocchio spinning around is a great gag. However, I think that Clark didn't really have the hang of drawing Pinocchio's face at this point in the film. Just as there are certain positions you don't want to draw Mickey in, I think that Clark drew Pinocchio's eyes in ways that don't flatter the character.Mark Mayersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00065971589878678848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-66517944477432064422007-04-08T06:47:00.000-04:002007-04-08T06:47:00.000-04:00I wouldn't be too hard on poor Les Clark, Mark. Hi...I wouldn't be too hard on poor Les Clark, Mark. His scene of Pinocchio letting Geppetto 'have a look at him' and the skipping scene are the two I remember best on this character from this sequence.<BR/>I took out my original post since I thought Lynn Karp was a female animator; his real name was THEODORE Lynn Karp and here is a link to find out more about him.<BR/>http://lambiek.net/artists/k/karp_lynn.htmNancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559138404570089435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27501132.post-47186273929221841752007-04-08T06:42:00.000-04:002007-04-08T06:42:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03559138404570089435noreply@blogger.com
