W in the W – part 3
Continuing with the posts of the storyboard for The Wind In The Willows, here are sequences 10 through 13. Once again, this board was probably used for the pose reel done in 1941 when the film was trying to be a feature film. (This is the reason no captions lie beneath the images.) Thanks again to John Canemaker for the loan of the board to post.
I took a look at this sequence in the film that stands, and it’s wholly different. They’ve really compacted the scene in a clever way, but something of the character development is also shortchanged.
I’m posting frame grabs underneath the boards.

– Speaking of John Canemaker, he had a great event last night with a screening of his movie, The Moon and the Son: An Imagined Conversation,
at the Beekman Theater followed by the opening of a showing of art from his film at Manhattan Marymount College.
The last time I saw a program of animation at the Beekman Theater it was the screening of John & Faith Hubley‘s Of Stars And Men back in 1964. As with that opening (I was there back then to see my first Hubley films), there weren’t many from the animation community in attendance. Tissa David came out to support John and was shy when John introduced her.
I was at the gallery opening and loved it. There was a large group, and the art was sensational (as was the wine and hors d’oeuvres.)
Kudos and congratulations to John Canemaker and his companion, Joe Kennedy.
You can still catch the art trip at the Hewitt Gallery of Art at

Mike – I’m very sorry I missed you at the reception, it was a lot of fun and there’s great artwork in the show.
I hung out with John Culhane, and Sharon Colman (Oscar nominee for her animated short “Badgered”). Ended up going to dinner with John Canemaker, Joe Kennedy and Sharon (It’s her first visit to New York).
I highly recommend the Canemaker exhibit. It includes a lot of terrific artwork never seen before.
