Jiminy Cricket Singin' in the Rain

This is a little layout of an animation sequence I hope to make someday in the future.

And yes, that really is Jiminy Cricket's voice singing that song. Cliff Edwards sang this song a long time before Gene Kelly did the dance routine in the movie.

I would maybe want to try a animation of this based on the pictures, if I may for you ofcurse? I have just begone with animation so I will not do it this year. But I am a fan of Disney and I am gonna try animate Jimmeny, Ludvig Von Drake, Mickey and a lot more later, but this is for starters as training.

@Ahturos That'd be nice! I've been wanting to do it myself for a long time, but I can't without the proper computer program. Well, as long as you could show a link or something of my credit, I'd love to see it.

Seems that just a few lines mean so much but Picasso worked that way too, All I can say is that with so little there is a fortune, maybe it sounds cruel that way but it is reality. But I would never sell Wollie's drawing whatever I was asked for it

@ukenutcase Same here. Glen's pic of John Silver is far too valuable to me signed or not. He did it too beautifully just as he did in the movie. I love every character work he did, but John Silver is his best work ever. . . in my opinion that is.

I had the pleasure of meeting Wolfgang Reitherman who animated the whale sequence in Pinnochio and the mirror in Snow White. I asked him to draw me a Jiminy Cricket when he visited Manchester(UK) in 1981 when he came as director to promote The Fox and the Hound (Tod and Toby). I still have Jiminy. Woolie was one of the Disney legends as was Ward. Sadly Woolie died in a car accident in 1985

@ukenutcase Ah, all of the nine old men were amazing. God bless their souls.

My idol is Glen Keane. One of my dreams is to work for him or have him teach me better ways of drawing. My best friend met him a few years ago at Disney world and had him draw a picture for me of my favorite character of all time that he animated, John Silver. When he finished, he ALMOST signed it, but erased his name when he knew that this drawing would be very valuable. It now hangs in my room.

@disneyrangerblue02 I think perhaps he could ;)

Does anybody -- besides me -- think Jiminy ought to have his own talk show? I think he'd be great for that.

@ukenutcase Yes, I know. And beautifully done.  ^^
