DISNEY TRIES SOMETHING With a fresh look at an old business, animated films are given a face lift. A round the Burbank Studios of Walt Disney Productions, things are frequently referred to as “A.D.”, meaning “after Walt Disney.” The presence of the Great Guiding Genius of the studio is still felt, even though he has been missing for several years. A typical example of this is the current animated feature, “The Aristocats.” “In the past,” producer Woolie Reitherman explains, “our animation features were divided into sequences, each of which was developed by a separate team and under an individual director. These were then pulled together by Walt.” “Snow White”, the studios first feature-length animated film was an exception to this rule, but all the movies afterward followed the same general plan. Now the studio works out the plot in advance, and this helps speed the production of the film. Work on “Aristocats” saw the emphasis shifted to pulling everyting together into cohesive whole prior to beginning the tedious work of animation. Both of the producers, Reitherman and Winston Hibler spent months with animators and story writers, Ken Anderson and Larry Clemmons while the animation department completed work on “The Jungle Book.” At first it seemed like all the ground work done before the start of production had slowed things down over what it would have been otherwise. Selecting voices for the picture was very important. In “The Jungle Book” voices became significant. This tradition was to be extended to the new movie, and the producers interviewed and auditioned hundreds of personalities. A voice that was well known wasn’t enough. “We took extreme care in selecting people who would aid us in character development and identification, as well as give us a great reading,” Reitherman explained. As they worked with actors, it was soon evident some stars can exert a great personal impact on an audience, but can’t project the same feeling with just their voice. As the months went by, a cast was gradually formed which included Sterling Holloway, Eva Gabor, Phil Harris, Hermione Baddeley, George Lindsey, Nancy Kulp and Pat Buttram. With the dialogue finished, the actors were called in and the voices were recorded. With this in the bag, ‘ the animators could begin their work and it was quickly apparent the tedious ground work had paid off. “We knew exactly what was going to happen to the plot,” Reitherman said with a burst of enthusiasm, “it gave us a lot of steam.” To keep track of the plot and events, story boards were created which line the walls of Reitherman’s office and spill out into the hall. Reflecting on progress to date, Reitherman went on, “To give you a better idea of what all this means, it’s important to remember how uncertain we were of the ending of “Jungle Book.” We didn’t know how to bring Mowgli back to Page 8
