Mowgli animation by Milt Kahl

Milt Kahl (Mowgli) from Victor Ens on Vimeo.


I don't know if this has been posted around, but it's always inspirational to look at some well-drawn animation. And of course Milt Kahl is the king of well-drawn animation! Check out the weight, timing and solid draftsmanship in this clip! We are not worthy. While you're looking at that, I'll be busy trying to get together some photos from CG Overdrive to post. Stay tuned!

Hey Victor,

Yeah, Milt was/is the king! We constantly studied his work back in animation school and felt extremely inspired....but also extremely intimidated!

Hope you'll have a good trip.

Victor, thanks for posting that. I'd never come across it.

I used to love this sequence as a kid, even though I had little to no knowledge of weight, mass, and volume in animation terms at the time. Even now, I still love watching it.

Thanks for posting this up!
