La Piñata
- Here’s a little flipbook gem. It’s part of the dance from The Three Caballeros, Animated by Ward Kimball there’s still a wild freshness about this long scene that’s been rarely duplicated. It’s obviosly one of the highlihts of the film.
I beleive these were published in one of the many Disney coffee table books, but I don’t have them at hand to try finding it. At least, if you do have whatever book it’s in, you can see these better, sincde I’m posting them in a larger size. A chance to admire the verve of these drawings.

Here’s a QT of the scene with drawings exposed to what I think are
their appropriate frames.
Watch the number here, on YouTube.

Dear Mr. Sporn,
Long time lurker, first time poster. Thank you SO much for posting this! I loved this musical number as a kid and studying the scene frame by frame is a lot of fun. To get to see some of the roughs has to be the best way to start my day! Again, thank you for posting.

Michael,
This Kimball sample is from one of the greatest sequences in animation history. Today here is so much reverence for “realistic” animation, that it’s so enlightening to see a series of drawings that demonstrate the charm,power and humor of an art form like no other. Thanks for including it in the SPLOG;
