(via blueskydisney.blogspot.com) A new video with Mark Henn talking about animating princess Tiana in the Princes and the Frog. It’s over at the AWN.
The Disney Channel recently had a ‘Top Secret Tour’ with behind the scenes on the Princess and the Frog. If you can avoid the perky kids at the beginning you can see a short scene from the movie. NOTE: The scene starts at :23.
I am excited to see how the final movie comes out.

This show from Disneyland that originated in the carousel theater in Tomorrow land is one of favorite extinct attractions. You see this was the first attractions I was not afraid to see at the park. My parents all told me it was just animals singing and putting on the show, but I was convinced that it was something scary. Well, I was wrong. I loved show and later had the soundtrack on a cassette tape that I would listen too all the time. Later I would discover the work of the conceptual designer for the show, Marc Davis that greatly influenced my art.
So as we celebrate our nation here in the USA, I present a video I found on YouTube. I hope you enjoy it and even sing along. I know I will.
You can read a history of the show at 2719 Hyperion blog as well.

Today we celebrate the Independence of the USA! I hope my fellow Americans all have a wonderful day with their friends and family.
Why not check out the Disney and More blog to see original artwork from Disneyland’s ‘America on Parade’ show from the bicentennial. I have faint memories of seeing the show when I was a kid.
Have a great day.

This is a poster design I did for one of my co-workers at the Youth Center I work at for ‘Operation Shine’. The poster is to promote a group of people hiking across the country to promote the issues of GLBT homeless youth. www.pridewalk2009.org/
“Estimates are that 40% of homeless youth identity as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgenders or queer. Considering LGBT youth make up only 5-10% of the population in general, the fact that so many homeless youth are queer is troubling. But what can be done to prevent LGBT homelessness?”
I did not have time to alter the art for the client, so it was done by someone else. I have included it for posterity sake.
