Few folks ever earned the monicker of Michelangelo in their given field, but Milt Kahl is a worthy recipient- he orchestrated some of the finest scenes Disney ever offered up!
awesome! this should be great! :)
The Academy should stream these events live over the internet for people that aren’t in L.A. I would gladly pay $5 to watch it live from my computer!
I’m glad Brad Bird is going to be there. He knows more about Milt than any other animator alive.
Well, if any animator deserves that title, it’s probably Kahl.
And it’s great Floyd will be there too. Maybe he’ll give us a description of the event next time he visits here.
This should be a real treat. I wish I could go.
About 20 years ago, I was able to attend a Milt Kahl tribute at the Animation Celebration Film Festival (at the Nuart). Andreas Deja and Marc Davis hosted the event. It was just a year or so after Milt died, so there was a bit of poignancy to the evening.
I’m already there.
Little known fact: Milt did the voice of young Ferdinand in “Ferdinand the Bull” (1938).
Goddamnit I wish I lived over there….
Of course Dick Williams should be part of that panel.
I can’t wait. I already bought the tickets.
I’m there! Thanks Jerry for the info.
I’m there too. Kahl always seemed to get the thankless, un-showy jobs, but always did marvelous, amazing work. Peter Pan and Shere Khan. ‘Nuff said.
They ended up overselling the show, so a lot of us ended who showed up early, ended up getting turned away even after we purchased tickets in advance.
I can’t believe how disorganized they were.
I was kinda bummed that Andreas got his seat swiped by somebody else (some student whos name escapes me). Otherwise it was pretty awesome
