From: Widerman-AT-aol.com Date: Sat, 28 Nov 2009 13:55:35 EST To: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Hansel & Gretel 1954 DVD As Craig and I have been taken to task by a mutual friendly expert for not mentioning Kermit Love and Sky Highchief as animators for Myerberg's "Hansel and Gretel," I have done a bit more research in the interest of accuracy. I have referenced my copy of "Closeup" magazine, copyright 1976, with interviews of both Don Sahlin and Kermit Love. Mentioned as animators on "Hansel" besides Don and Kermit are Teddy Shepard, Danny Diamond, Inez and Joe Horstman, Sky Highchief and Hobart Rosen. Also worth noting is that Anna Russell supplied the voice of the witch. None of the animators are credited in the IMDB listing for the film, however I will attempt to get that remedied. Also included is an interview with Lou Bunin, discussing the making of his version of "Alice in Wonderland." -Steven-> In a message dated 11/28/2009 10:12:21 A.M.

Eastern Standard Time, Widerman-AT-aol.com writes: One of the animators on the Meyerberg version of "Hansel and Gretel" was Teddy Shepherd, a long-time member of the Puppetry Guild of Greater New York. She passed away within the last year or two. and I own several stop-action animation publications, acquired from her, on the making of "Hansel and Gretel," "King Kong," and one of my favorites "Flesh Gordon." The work they did was outstanding. -Steven-> In a message dated 11/28/2009 3:21:26 A.M.

It is stop motion, but of a surprisingly advanced level, for the time it was made (1954). There is an absurdly short "making of", but it may just be a mistake in editing the DVD, as it stops quite abruptly after just a few minutes. The minutes they show are quite interesting though. Directed by Michael Meyerberg 72 minutes, in color. Deluxe Edition. ISBN 0-8030-2421-5 The DVD I was lent is distributed by "Collector's Catalog", New york. www.view.com _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
