Toot Art – 4
- Here are the last of the color stats of art from Toot Whistle Plunk & Boom. They were loaned me by John Canemaker to whom I’m enormously grateful.
As with past posts, I’ve interspersed some frame grabs from the film to show what the final designs looked like for comparison’s sake.
(Click any image to enlarge.)
Ward Jenkins has many more frame grabs from the entire film on his site.

Fascinating to see the evolutionfrom concept drawings to final. Some places a plus–the drummer, though the B/W crayon drawing (Virgil Partch, maybe?) is more beautiful on its own, the style wanted to be more dynamic and geometric to fit the film. Others a minus. It’s rather horrifying how the rather beautifully drawn sketch of the Chinese musicians, nicely marrying the 50s angular idiom to a quiet observation of what is beautiful in 19th c. Chinese painting and prints, has somehow got trumped up into a hamfisted racial stereotype, complete with blindly slanted eyes and buck teeth.
