Joe Magro's Good Luck Book (1937)
“When Italian-American artist Joe Magro left the studio in 1937 following the production of Snow White, his Disney colleagues presented him with a ‘good luck’ book filled with gag drawings. The drawings from that book were auctioned by Heritage Auctions, and include pieces by a who’s who of animation legends including Fred Moore, Ward Kimball, Bill Tytla, Grim Natwick and Marc Davis, among others.”
Source
Included here are sketches by Bob Leffingwell, Ward Kimball, Woolie Reitherman, Charles “Nick” Nichols, Jack Larsen, Clyde Geronimi, Dick Lundy, Fred Moore and two by Marc Davis. Three (Kimball, Reitherman, Davis) became part of the group known as Disney's Nine Old Men.

Sleeping Beauty (1959, Clyde Geronimi, Eric Larson, Wolfgang Reitherman and Les Clark)
11/02/2024
Sleeping Beauty is a 1959 animated film directed by Clyde Geronimi, Eric Larson, Wolfgang Reitherman and Les Clark, made with the animation technique and produced by Walt Disney based on the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty by Charles Perrault.
It is the 16th Disney Classic and was released in the United States on January 29, 1959 distributed by Buena Vista Distribution.
In the wake of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella, the Studio revived a classic folk tale in an attempt to achieve great success again, but, despite the great and ambitious technical quality, the film received a very cold response upon release; such was its disappointing initial gross and mixed critical reception that Sleeping Beauty was Disney's last fairy tale adaptation for the next thirty years (the Studio only returned to the genre long after Walt's death with the release of The Little Mermaid in 1989).
The film is graphically inspired by the Gothic miniatures of the book Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry, catapulting the viewer into a bucolic and medieval setting with a sharp and precise line.
A live action of the film was made in 2014: Maleficent with Angelina Jolie in the role of Maleficent and Elle Fanning as Princess Aurora, Sleeping Beauty.
France, 14th century. King Stephen and his consort, Queen Leah, welcome the birth of their first and only daughter, Princess Aurora.
Before Merryweather is able to give her blessing, a terrible and treacherous witch named Maleficent appears in a whirlwind of wind and, to take revenge for not having been invited, curses the princess, proclaiming that she will be truly beautiful and graceful, but that before sunset on his sixteenth birthday she will prick his finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die.
Princess Aurora, the female protagonist of the story, renamed Briar Rose by the fairies. She is animated by Marc Davis.
Prince Phillip. He is animated by Milt Kahl.

Cinderella (1950)
Tumblr media
Sumptuously animated, with iconic images and memorable songs, Cinderella exemplifies the golden age of Disney Animation. Adults will be filled with warm nostalgia while watching - even if they didn’t grow up with the film. Kids will be delighted. Smart choices throughout make it an old-fashioned picture with lasting appeal
Orphaned and now living with her cruel stepmother (voiced by Eleanor Audley) and two wicked stepsisters (voiced by Helene Stanley and Rhoda Williams), Cinderella (voiced by Ilene Woods) is now a servant in her own home. Though forced to perform endless chores and suffer unjust punishments, Cinderella never loses hope that someday her dreams will come true. When the King (voiced by Luis van Rooten) organizes a royal ball to find a suitable wife for his son, Lady Tremaine becomes determined to prevent Cinderella from attending.
Cinderella is very much a classic fairy tale. The story is timeless and easy to latch onto. It’s also very much a product of its time. The protagonist is not an active participant in their own story. Today, a strong female character might use her wits to get herself out of a jam or just punch the bad guy in the face. It’s no spoiler to tell you that Cinderella’s salvation is kind of just served to her on a platter through the magic of her fairy godmother (voiced by Verna Felton)… but that's oversimplifying it. The story’s message is that even if others treat you like dirt, you shouldn’t hold a grudge and remain kind. The moral is taken to an extreme but it’s a good lesson to teach - far more applicable to real life than you'd think.
This is a rather straightforward retelling of the fairytale by Charles Perrault but key additions and choices make it stand out. First, the animated medium. Every frame of Cinderella is so crisp it looks like it was made yesterday. The colours are wonderful. The characters are delightfully expressive. The movements are smooth, everyone is always on-model and it’s a delight to simply watch the story play out. The chateau is filled with all sorts of details that make it feel like it used to be majestic but is slowly rotting away, like the huge mouse population that moves through its corridors through endless - and varied - secret passages. You can tell the artists had a blast coming up with new ways for Jaq, Gus (voice by Jimmy MacDonald) and the other mice to make their way from one room to another.
Another memorable aspect of Cinderella is the musical numbers. Ask anyone. They’ll tell you Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo is the best piece but over the years So This is Love has grown on me as much as A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes. Special attention should also be given to Oh Sing Sweet Nightengale, in which Cinderella sings harmony with herself in a clever manner that also utilizes the animated medium to its full potential.
Cinderella is a lovely person. She’s meek but kind and patient, with neverending empathy for those around her. Seeing her constantly beaten down breaks your heart. While she could be described as a bit bland as far as heroines go, the same can’t be said about the film's chief villain, Lady Tremaine. Modeled after and voiced by the same woman who would later bring Maleficent to life, she steals every scene she’s in. You hate her but wouldn't dare look away for a moment.
There is one scene, in particular, that stood out to me during this viewing. It’s not a big memorable moment but it exemplifies the care that was put into the film. In it, Cinderella walks up a flight of stairs with a tea set on a tray. She's being followed by Lady Tremaine’s cat, Lucifer, who knows a mouse is hiding beneath one of the cups. The cat is about to get his prey when Cinderella’s shoe suddenly slips off. She turns around to put it back on, spinning the tray and making Lucifer grab the wrong cup in the process. His bewilderment makes us laugh and the scene also foreshadows the famous slipper that will be left behind later in the film.
Cinderella is what you picture when you hear the words “Classic Disney”. it’s gorgeous, contains plenty of laughs, and offers just enough heartbreaks to keep you in suspense until the happy ending you've been promised. The songs are memorable, as are the characters - even if sometimes they’re little more than archetypes. Not every movie should be like Cinderella but if you want to tell an old fairytale, do it like this. (On Blu-ray, March 12, 2021
