Disney's Robin Hood (Golden Press, 1973) pt. 2


I hadn't really thought about it for some time, but years ago, I picked up this book from an eBay auction and didn't realize the added goodies that came with the book.  the contents included the following....


  • 6 newspaper clippings from either The Dallas Times Herald and The Dallas Morning News
  • 1 bookmark from a local book shop in Dallas
  • 1 courtesy card from The Circle Gallery in Dallas
I only had thought to sharing these after noticing this post on another blog I follow up on that showed a video clip of Disney animator Milt Kahl giving an interview for a TV station from the Circle Gallery in Dallas, TX. Thanks to Andreas Deja for providing this.



I figured it was the right time to break these out finally. Enjoy these little scraps of history people!  Click on them to bring them up larger of course.

Christopher,

Unfortunately I can't open this on my Mac.
Is there a Mac friendly format you can get me?
Thanks.

Well I decided to move what I have over to this site in a folder that might help you out here. It's basically something I downloaded off a site many years back of Milt's lecture from 1979 I think. I had thought about sharing it on my blog but wasn't particularly sure I want to yet unless you were OK with it.

By the way, here's something I wanted to send you privately but couldn't think of any other way to send it since you don't have an e-mail address handy, but this was a drawing that's been in my possession for some time now, and all I know of it is that it's a gag drawing from the Disney studio, featuring one of the vultures from The Jungle Book in a rather obscene situation (lord knows I didn't think they were that crass about it). I suppose at the time it gave me a giggle in getting it at all, but I did sorta wonder who was behind this drawing anyway. If you don't know, that's OK, just one of those mysteries I'm sure will never be solved.

I was able to open the Milt lecture, which I already have as a CD.
As far as I'm concerned feel free to post it on your blog.
Still having trouble with the vulture image.
Can you post it as a jpg?
Thanks again!

I had to censor the picture a bit obviously but I'm sure you can figure out the gag!

It looks like a sketch done by one of the assistants who worked on the film.
But the top guys did naughty drawings, too,
once in a while.

No doubt I could see why, I sorta thought it was done by someone who was extremely bored that day. Thanks for the help!

Hi Christopher!

Sadly, the BayFiles and Divshare links for the Milt Kahl lectures don't seem to be working for me, and the website they originally came from (Seward Street) is gone too. I don't suppose you still have a copy somewhere?
