He was a young artist employed by the Disney studio, but tasked with the entry-level job of finishing off the work of the animators and crafting the “in-between” animations that completed the characters’ movements. Wong had learned that studio executives were creating a film from the new novel, Bambi, A Life in the Woods by Felix Salten. Tom says the young artist read the book and without consulting his supervisor, “took the script and painted some visual concepts to set the mood, color and the design.”
His sketches recalled the lush mountain and forest scenes of Sung dynasty landscape paintings. His initiative paid off. Walt Disney, who was looking for something new for the film, was captivated and personally directed that Wong be promoted. Today, top animators and illustrators revere Wong’s work. Children today are as enchanted by the misty, lyrical brushstrokes of Wong’s colorful nature scenes, inspired by his training at Otis College of Art and self-study of Sung Dynasty art
The scene in Shrek 2 when the Fairy Godmother sings I need a Hero when the giant gingerbread man attacks the castle is still the greatest scene in cinema of all times
We bisexuals don’t get enough rep in mainstream media and I feel like this contributes to the feeling that we don’t have a distinct culture. But! We do! Bis let’s get together and make some bi culture happen. Here’s my start of what bi culture is…
Cuffed jeans
Tucked in shirts
Bisexual flag!
Finger guns
Double thumbs up
Awkward standing
Not being able to sit straight/ putting our feet up on anything and everything
Leather jackets
Striped shirts
Overalls
Bonus: bi people are always the coolest people in the room. Always.
