Before Katzenberg got ahold of this project, it was set to be released under the title of, “Basil of Baker Street.” Katzenberg’s reasoning for changing the title was for appeal to a larger audience, and so he changed it to, “The Great Mouse Detective.” Although I have to agree that the new title appeals to more people, I like the old title way better, as it immediately gives the film a feeling of intimacy.

There’s some fantastic stuff by Keane here, enjoy:

Update: Make sure you check out Matt Jonez screen caps of the film here.

I don’t have a lot of time to post these days while I’m working hard to raise money for school, so I’ll be posting a lot of stuff like this…

Here’s some fantastic stuff from Aladdin. Tomorrow I’ll post some great pre-production work from Bambi.

I haven’t had time to look through all the extra features from the new Jungle Book DVD, so I don’t know if these are or are not included on it, but here’s a few model sheet from the production I had in a folder on my computer. I specifically like the Shere Khan ones myself.

Pinocchio is one of the few Disney DVDs I still don’t have. I know, I know, I’m on it. Here’s some great storyboard art of the film. I must study this film more. Especially after reading Seward St opinion that it’s the greatest animated film of all time. Something tells me I’ll be doing a Pinocchio study sesh soon. I’ve also been trying to track down this book forever. If you know of any copies anywhere, please message me!
