Mickey and the Brooms – 1
- I’ve got a very long scene to share with you, and I’m busy. There are over 500 drawings involved – many are the shadows of Mickey’s chopping of the brooms. So this scene is going to go up in many parts. I also have the exposure sheets (which are complicated) and I’ll post those when I reach a good breaking point.
The scene is beautifully animated by Riley Thompson with assistant animation from Harvey Toombs. Here’s Mickey entering the scene and skidding to a stop outside the door.

Wow, the over shoot of the body and re-balance with the arms, the overlap on the hat, the compression on the cheeks that relax and stretch at the end along with the eyes and the frown into amazement, the shoulders dropping as the body goes forwards, the little bounce on the ears… it’s all too beautiful. What a way to start my morning!

This is so wonderful to see. Thanks so much for posting each of the drawings. I am looking forward to seeing the exposure sheets to see how they timed it.

Great stuff! Anyone know of any other specific scenes anywhere else animated by Riley Thompson? If Hans Perk haunts here…maybe he knows!
Thanks.
