Milt Kahl’s Llama – part 6
- Last of the llamas. This is the end of the scene animated by Milt Kahl for Saludos Amigos. It’s hilarious, beautiful, flowing and funny animation. The beat moves on and on despite the fact that there is no soundtrack on this QT movie.
Next week a scene by Hicks Lokey from Fantasia. Hippo and alligator. Another very funny scene.
As with all of these continued posts, we start with the last drawing from last week’s scene.
The following is a QT of this part of the scene with all the drawings posted to date.

Thanks to John Canemaker for the loan of the scene to post.

Is that Hicks Lokey scene on Fantasia – the one where the aligator prepares to hold on but squashed by the hippo as the hippo bounces to the aligator? Yeah, that’s a pretty funny scene.

Thanks for this scene. Kahl was on fire during this period. The choreography here is extremely sophisticated. His work in Song of the South is spectacular too. Although Kahl is best known for the highly skilled technical realistic animation he did later, I love his cartoony animation the best. It’s like Grim Natwick… Snow White was a great achievement, but compared to his cartoony animation, it’s more of a technical exercise.

Thanks for posting all of these! A great find.
You can see the hands of “the animator” (Kahl, or a convenient stand-in?) working on this scene in this promo video:
