Thomas’ Mickey’s Tailor – recap
.
- This is the brilliant scene by Frank Thomas from the excellent Mickey short, The Brave Little Tailor. This scene is one of the highlights of that film. This scene made me realize how great an animator was Frank Thomas. For too many years I took his work for granted; this scene changed it all for me. I had to reevaluate everything he’d done.
In its entirety the scene’s about 250 drawings long, a long one. Many thanks to my friend, Lou Scarborough, for the generous loan of his xeroxed copies.

Amazing acting by Frank, one of his best. Every gesture is perfectly choreographed and the timing is superb.
Thanks for taking the time to scan all these drawings and make a video, Michael.

This is a great scene from that short and seeing this is sort of humbling. Okay. More than sort of…

When I scroll down really fast and keep my eye on the same spot, it comes to life, even though I’m looking at every other frame I think.
