Medusa – 2

- This is the last half of this scene by the brilliant, Milt Kahl, for The Rescuers in 1977.

Penny has been sent down a hole to find a diamond while Medusa from above screams at her to look harder. Kahl had a field day animating Medusa and felt it was one of his better pieces. And it was. Unfortunately, it couldn’t quite top Marc Davis’ Cruella DeVille.

Many thanks to my friend, Louis Scarborough Jr. for the loan of the scene to share with you.

As with all of these pieces we start with the last drawing from last week.

    Actually Michael, the Rescuers came out in 1977, not in 1967.
