More Wizard Inspiration
– Yesterday, I posted the first of some drawings that Bill Peet did in developing the “Wizard’s Duel” for the 1963 Disney feature, The Sword In The Stone. This section of the film, which was supervised by Milt Kahl, was considered one of the highlights of the feature. Kahl took pride in his work on “Mim;” he had good reason to do so.
Today, I’m posting the final part of this sketchbook.
I love how Peet drew all over the cover (to the left) making his notes and sketches, finally labelling the cover page. I think this is something we can all associate with, and it helps to make the art less “Art” and more working drawings to give the final film the life it has.
If I were more energetic, I’d put together a “Mosaic” a la Mark Mayerson‘s excellent handiwork. However, I do not have the drafts for the sequence, so it’d just be a frame-grab show-and-tell. Perhaps, another day.

I am enjoying the fact that the action was lade out on a legal pad, not some fancy sketch book or even story board. He is just telling the story.
