I’ve always loved this film and the rather stark and very contradictory points you highlighted, are so very interesting. Especially as you mentioned - both the studio track record and that lacking of the auteur or individual throughout the animated feature/ production process. Really resonant and enjoyable piece and great to revisit a film that reaffirms the singular view and interpretation through art and thinking less about house style and forceful brush of art direction. The film often triggers me to start thinking about all of the above (probably far too often than I wish to admit!)
I didnt know Disney produced a series of films /videos that documented behind the scenes of their production / animation.
Do you know if other animators/ studios did this too?
Also: Initially thought Robert Henri was a French name. Was kinda surprised to hear the way Henri was pronounced. Apparently it wasn't a French name and was a name taken on to live semi-incognito (per Wiki).
