Lundy’s Grand Opera 2
- Continuing with yesterday’s posting of Donald drawings by Dick Lundy from Mickey’s Grand Opera, I have two more scenes to present. Actually, only the first comes from that film. It shows Donald pulling out his sword and belting out that first glorious operatic note.

3This second scene comes from the original B&W Orphan’s Benefit (1934). Mickey walks Donald onto the stage, quiets the rambunctious orphans and Donald goes into this little dance just prior to his performance.

6And here’s the frame grabs from the film which gives you the opportunity of comparing the inked cels from the pencil drawings. The inking hadn’t yet reached the same level of artistry, as you can see.

Wow, thanks for posting the drawings and the frames from the finished cartoon. You’re absolutely right. A lot of the charm is lost after the inking.

I really love the old style design of the Disney characters, especially the original Donald design.
