Peet’s Little House 2
- Here’s the second of five storyboard pages loaned me by John Canemaker. The boards were drawn by the brilliant Bill Peet.
The Little House was a short, and is part of the Disney Rarities dvd still available. The image to the right comes from that dvd’s extras.
Mary Blair was the key designer of the film. Her color work is exceptional, and I’ll try to give some examples of her art in future posts.
All of these boards are small photos that I’m blowing up large, so you’ll be able to see them. It involves heavy scanning of oversize work, then cutting them up and reconstructing them so that they’re in order. Sorry that I have to take a few posts to make them all available. They’re worth the trouble.______________ (Click images to enlarge them.)
Here’s the second page of this board.
This is the full second board as it looks before I cut it apart. You can see that the image is small and I had to cut it up so you can enlarge it enough to make it visible.
The blue nunbers below the panels represent the row of images displayed.

One hopes someday John will open his own Museum someday for all of us to see this stuff in person, and not end up buried again in some vault in Burbank only visible to a select few.

wow, those are really great. Thanks for taking the time to scan, compile and crop them…I know how tedious that is, and it’s much appreciated!
