I’m still having trouble deciding whether I’m going to do my presentation (due 27th November) on British animation 1950s-1990s or on Richard Williams and development of The Thief and the Cobbler, but this weekend I’m managed to put together a minute-long animation reel, should I choose the latter.
I’m rather pleased with the results. The music used here is the instrumental part of Glenn Miller’s Fine Feathered Friend (1937) and the clips used range from a number of Richard Williams’ animated commercials, Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), Prologue (2015), Return of the Pink Panther (1976), Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy: A Musical Adventure (1977) , Ziggy’s Gift (1982), Charge of the Light Brigade (1968) and of course, The Thief and the Cobbler (1993).
If the reception this reel had on Facebook is anything to go by, I’m optimistically assuming that it’ll be well recieved on the big day of the presentation.
