Tytla’s Action Analysis
– After posting the fine drawings by Bill Tytla, and following with the “Washing sequence” board drawings it’s on appropriate to offer one of the Action Analysis classes Tytla gave at the Disney studio, after hours. This one took place on December 10th, 1936 – 72 years ago today.
Tytla and Fred Moore were the leadaing animators of the seven dwarfs – supervising and handling seven wholly different personalities each with relatively little screen time to relay their individual traits.
This article is chiefly concerned with the sequence of the dwarfs gathered around the wash tub cleaning themselves for dinner.

Shouldn’t that be 72 years ago today?

It should, and I’ve corrected it. Thanks Mark. I guess I ran out of fingers.
