I'm going to the latest Academy Celebration of Animation, Mary Blair’s World of Color: A Centennial Tribute, on October 20.
Mary Blair died in 1978 and created the concept art for such Disney greats as
Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Song of the South and Cinderella, as well as the character designs for Disneyland's "It's a Small World."
Check out the panel to be moderated by animation expert Charles Solomon: Pixar writer-director Pete Docter (
Up, Wall-E, Toy Story, Monsters, Inc.), character designer/art director Michael Giaimo (
The Brave Little Toaster, FernGully: The Last Rainforest, Pocahontas), Disney supervising animator Eric Goldberg (Genie in
Aladdin, Phil in
Hercules, and Rabbit in
Winnie the Pooh), and director (
Pocahontas, the “Rhapsody in Blue” and “Carnival of the Animals” segments of
Fantasia/2000), Disney art director Susan Goldberg ("Rhapsody in Blue” and “Carnival of the Animals” sequences in
Fantasia/2000, assistant animator on
Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and
Hercules) and lead color key artist/designer Daisuke “Dice” Tsutsumi (
