More Whoopee !
- This completes my visual breakdown of the Mickey Mouse short, The Whoopee Party. I’ve taken the art off the dvd Mickey Mouse in B&W, and have interspersed matching frame grabs from the film, itself.
Having seen the film many times, it’s certainly interesting to go through the artwork. For some reason, this film, to me, is one of those that somehow supercedes its animation. What I mean by that, is that for some reason I’ve never looked at it as animation – the technical aspect. I’ve always been dragged into it as an audience member loving the anthropo-morphism and the musical dance the animators concocted. It was never about studying the frames or the artwork. Someday, I’ll have to talk more about this aspect of the work.
So it’s entertaining to look at it on this level, now.
THe Animation Art Gallery is selling a number of drawings from this film, and it’s worth taking a look.
