Cinderella Drawings – 1
- Cinderella art. I’ve taken a lot of drawings that I could find from an old DVD and from some books and have put them all together in a jamboree of images making up a couple of posts. The occasion for this, to me, is to celebrate the drafts recently posted by Hans Perk on his resourceful site, A Film LA. This is all leading up to something. I don’t want to do: a mosaic of the film. I am not that in love with the movie to do all that work, but perhaps I’ll do a variation of the form, created by Mark Mayerson.
The artists of these sketches are nameless. None of the art was identified, so I send it out that way. The Mary Blair images are obvous, and though there’s a preponderance of Blair artwork for this film, I”ve tried to limit her a bit. I did devote a lot of space to her artwork in past posts. You can find more of her Cinderella images here.
For now here are some images of the character, Cinderella.

I’d really like to know who drew 3,6 and 10.

I’m probably wrong but #2 and possibly #8 and #11 look like Tom Oreb. #19-24 feel like Albert Hurter. Anyway of checking?

19-24 are a couple of different people. They may be working from Hurter designs, but none of those look like Hurter to me.
Cinderella is one of the most problematic Disney features for me. The main part of the story seems like it would be better suited for live action, and the animated elements seem overdone and irrelevant. I wonder if they didn’t consider doing it as a live action/ animation film like Song of the South or So Dear to my Heart at some point. It seems like it would have worked a lot better that way. It sure isn’t paced like the other Disney features.

4, 5, 11-14 are Mary Blair
15-24 aren’t well drawn enough to be Hurter.
Mary Blair, Claude Coats, John Hench, and Don DaGradi are credited for “Color & Styling.”

Just checked the credits on IMBb and neither Oreb nor Hurter are listed but these things sometimes had a long gestation. I have to admit these would have been disappointing if they were Hurter.

I would so love to know who did #10 and if there is a full version of the sketch available to see anywhere. I really like it a lot!
