Milt Kahl wasn't very happy with animating the princes in "Snow White", "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty", but he studied live action very well by referencing the tiger in "A Tiger Walks" and putting the animation into shere khan for "The Jungle Book".
They could draw humans easily its just they spent so much time on cartoon animals humans seemed complex, I think a key is to practice alot not drawing cartoon creatures but drawing real humans that have perfect apeal and life and volume out of you head, not from a model. If you do this out of your head and it can be done look at Hal Foster, John buscema, drawing everything else will be so much easyier. But the people have to have perfect proportions and apeal and volume and look beautiful
Great video. It's fascinating to hear their stories. Milt Kahl's animation was always fist rate. I love that scene from "Song of the South" that they show. it's pretty dang funny and well-animated. Thank you so much for posting.

Poor Kahl, he was always stuck with the princes, which were difficult to animate.

@Bash316 and boring as hell, always hated the princes, they are such flat, boring characters, I wouldn't want to animate them.
