This Blog is created with the intention of honoring the greatest animator that has ever lived, Milt Kahl. Milt was one of the famous Disney's 9 old Men. A Supervising Animator in many Disney features, and perhaps one of the better draftsmen. His ideas displayed clearly and simple, while giving careful consideration to his drawing. He had a beautiful way of being subtle, although Milt preferred broad characters. He always took the challenge of doing assignments that were tough to draw. He was a great visualizer, some one said about Milt, "Once he gets clear in his mind what hes' going to do, its as good as on the paper." Bluntly Honest, and a sweet helpful side. He expected anyone coming for help to have worked hard and tried everything- to have done his best before coming.(Research from THE ILLUSION OF LIFE by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston).So as time progresses I hope to discover much more hidden treasures on Milt Kahl, there is a lot now to offer with the power of the internet. I will be back often to update, so please come often, and study with us as we take the journey to view the art of Milt Kahl.
