BAMBI - publicity sketches part 1








Four years ago when I was assigned to work on BAMBI II I started scouring e-bay to find material, I found some 8x10s with what look like Marc Davis drawings, naturally I picked them up. Taking a leaf from Michael Sporn's BAMBI posts I thought I'd share these photos with you.
Recently I've begin to expand the collection, partly to put me into the mood to write my own film but also because I just love these drawings, can anybody confirm that these are Marc Davis drawings? If they are not, then maybe who drew them?


WALT IN ARGENTINA

This is a photo of Walt in Argentina which I recently acquired, the snipe on the reverse side reads:
BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA . . . . WALT DISNEY,
movie animated cartoon tycoon, is shown (center)
sampling "yerba mate", the "tea" of South America,
at a gaucho barbeque near BUENOS AIRES. DISNEY
is brewing the mate in the gourd in approved style
while gauchos in working clothes provide the setting.

HAPPY FESTIVE SEASON




I know it's a bit late, but believe me I've been very busy since my last post. I wish everyone all the best for the festive season and all the very best for the New Year!!!
