Disney Live Action Reference Footage

We all love Disney movies, but one aspect of Disney films that often gets over looked is Disney live-action reference footage. You see animators would often film live actors then draw the characters based off their movements. Well I want to spread that hard work far and wide. The only problem most of these films are over 60 years old, and the animators would only need to save a few key frames and poses, then animate the in-between frames themselves, and get rid of rest. Also it was time when documenting/archiving stuff like this wasn’t really a priority. Thus sadly lot’s of this footage has been lost to time, and if any more does survive, it hasn’t been released to the public. Still I did my best to find as much as possible, and in some instances I got the next best things with actors recreating scenes on shows like the Fred Waring show and Mickey Mouse Club.
