Visit linkDeja View is written by a working animator, so posts begin with a drawing: a Telephone Doodle, a Gaston rough, a King Triton sketch. Deja animated Gaston in Beauty and the Beast and Scar in The Lion King, which gives the Disney-era posts a first-hand angle on character acting. Longer book projects are listed in the sidebar, including a book on the making of The Jungle Book and a book on the Nine Old Men, the group of Disney directing animators of the classic era.
