Tar Baby – repost
- Back in Oct 2007, I posted Bill Peet‘s excellent storyboard for the Tar Baby sequence from Song of the South.
Given yesterday’s post of color sketches and storyboard drawings from this film, and given that the original posting of these boards was done relatively small, I thought it time to put them up again, but I’ve taken the time to break them down and post them in a slightly larger form, making them a bit more legible.
As with other recent boards loaned me by John Canemaker, I first display them in the original size of the stats as they came to me.

There are another two pages of the storyboard
which I’ll break down and post tomorrow.

.- Here’s the conclusion to the storyboard by Bill Peet that I began yesterday. It’s the Tar Baby sequence from Song of the South.
I first posted this in October 2007, but I hadn’t broken up the board so that it could be enlarged enough. I’ve done that.
Many thanks go to John Canemaker for initially lending this material for me to post.

Awesome post, Bill Peet was a legend. I also used to read his books a lot as a young child. They were a household staple.

Very interesting post. Thank you for putting these up. They are almost as entertaining as the short itself.

If only Brer Rabbit looked as cute in the movie as Peet drew him in the storyboards!

As great as any prime Warner cartoon of the period – though I kind of doubt those guys would take that as the compliment it is. Gorgeous boards.
