Description

The storyboard drawing and thumbnail date to about 1941, and are actually an early cut scene from Mickey and the Beanstalk (Aka when being developed "The Legend of Happy Valley" or just "Mickey Feature", which was originally meant to be a full-length feature. This is actually Willie the Giant, showing off his shapeshifting skills (which became the Pink Bunny sequence)...hence the little mop-top haircut with cowlicks.

Massive forehead so massive and shiny defined through 1888the pencils! The eye is so delightfully golden age cartooning!
