Mickey's Misfire (2011)

It was brought to my attention that I left out the "firing the gun" pose from the sequence of sketches in my last post. So here it is -- along with the "aim" sketch that precedes it.



(I've added them to the last post as well, just to make it complete.)

Mickey Get Your Gun (2011)

I've always had a soft spot for Mickey. One of the first projects I worked on at Disney was Mickey's Christmas Carol. The Brave Little Tailor and The Pointer are a couple of my favorites. I especially like when Mickey (voiced by Walt himself) gets mad at Pluto in The Pointer and calls him a "bone-head!". There's something genuine about that moment that makes me laugh.

Though he's since been reduced to a corporate trademark who baby-sits preschoolers for a living, I'm glad he once lived, long ago in the golden age of cartoons.
