Mickey and the Shadows – 1

- Having seen the entirety of Mickey chasing the broom into the adjoining room, we now take up the shadows that show us what Mickey does in there. Again there are many drawings (it’s all on ones) so this is the first part. (See past posts here.)

It’s animated by Riley Thompson with Harvey Toombs assisting. The sequence director was James Algar.

    I love the use of the shadow to suggest what is going on in the next room.
    In addition, the broom was part of my inspiration when I illustrated the picture book “Colors”

    I don’t know if its because I first saw this sequence so long ago as a young kid that I’ve forgotten what my first impression was, but this moment seems somehow much more shocking and brutal in its raw form, unalleviated of the beautiful backgrounds and colors.
