Description
Nice little red pencil rough to the first feature length animated movie. Snow White's main animator was Jack Campbell so it may be his hand on this drawing. I listed this as a "rough" because I am not quite sure whether there is another cleaner pencil drawing after this stage. If you look closely you can still see the animators guidelines between the eyes, nose and mouth. The lines in this red pencil drawing are so clean that I can't imagine it would need to be cleaned up. If there are any experts out there, could you help me out as to how I identify the finished final drawing verses the rough drawings?

Hi Richard, If you haven't already found an answer to your question, it's not a rough but an in-between animation drawing, and the cel would have been traced directly from the drawing. Cochran and Hamilton, who had connections with Disney by virtue of their license for making prints after Carl Barks' paintings, approached Disney about selling some of the many, many animation drawings which the studio had always retained -Disney didn't care about cels, which were largely tossed out, since they figured they could make new cels whenever they wanted if they kept the Good Grief, to be continued

Russ and Bruce thought that they could just pull great Good Grief, to be continued.

Lovely, and I was just sure that even half hadn't gone through. Whatever... drawings out of scenes and sell them. But Disney put together a panel to decide which could be sold, and they limited sales to only in-betweens, with not a single one of the usually more finished extreme drawings ever being released, officially. That's why you could chose from a lot of nice in-betweens in San Diego on the one occasion (probably the summer of 1984) when Russ and Bruce bothered dealing with Disney over the drawings. Little did anyone at Disney know that other licensees were taking out great extremes, probably many from the very scenes Russ and Bruce had pulled out, only to be denied permission to sell.
