Animating Steamboat Willie

Inside the Walt Disney Family Museum is an entire wall dedicated to the artwork that is "Steamboat Willie". This young boy was admiring the animated video placed right in the middle of the entire frame by frame cartoon. I envisioned this shot to be black and white when I was taking it so I converted it when I got home. I like the how the light plays against the shadows and how massive the wall is. This cartoon was made in 1928 by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks. I still find it incredibly amazing that both of these gentleman had a studio in Kansas City where it all began for both of them, Laugh O Gram Studios. I read some of the letters Walt wrote to Bob who stayed back in KC for sometime before he was ready to move out to LA. The studio does an amazing job of getting to know the man and his family growing up. I encourage any Disney fan to stop and enjoy the museum.
