A couple of newsbits from the world of Disney Animation regarding the newest of the new and the oldest of the old. First up, we have some preproduction artwork from a brand new animated short being produced by the feature animation department at Disney. The new short is called "How to Install Your Home Theatre" and picks up where the great Goofy instructional cartoons of the 40's and 50's left off. Short cartoon subjects are going to start appearing with Walt Disney Pictures feature films again, just as they did from the last 1920's to the mid 60's. And, just like those classic shorts, the new films will be used as a training ground for new and upcoming talents in the animation world. "Home Theatre" will be produced in glorious old fashioned hand-drawn 2D animation and is scheduled to hit theatres sometime next year.
From brand new projects to one of Walt Disney's first projects, Oswald The Lucky Rabbit makes his home video debut early next year. Walt Disney first worked on the Oswald cartoons when he arrived in Hollywood in the mid 1920's. Through some underhanded business dealings, Walt lost the rights to his creation and Oswald has been the property of Universal Pictures for the last 75 (or so) years. Recently, Oswald returned home to the Disney studios when he was traded for Al Michaels from ABC's Monday Night Football. (Disney owns ABC, Universal owns NBC) The Oswald cartoons have not been seen by the public at large for decades! Disney plans to change that by releasing a double disc DVD housing Walt Disney's original Oswald cartoons beautifully remastered. I've seen the restoration work and they look gorgeous! Can't wait to finally see these cartoons I've read so much about over the years!
