Hey, this is a coincidence. Yesterday, I mentioned an old article about the making of Disney’s Snow White and Seven Dwarfs [link here], and today Mark Evanier pointed out a video on YouTube with a vintage short subject about the same thing [link here].
Not trusting YouTube to keep anything Disney-related online, I’ll post the video here.
Well, the ink and paint girls were paid less, that’s true, but so were the male “in-between” animators. The lead animators were at the top of the pay scale. Mary Blair was a Disney layout artist. I should post something about her.
“Lots of pretty girls,” huh? To think, this newsreel was the only credit they got for working on “Snow White!” They probably got paid far less than the male animators, too!
