Inspiration: Xavier Atencio

Xavier Atencio is one of my biggest influences from Disney.
He was an animator, character designer and Imagineer from 1938-1984
The first time I saw his work, I honestly didn't realize how great it was, but I LOVED the Old Mac short as a kid:



now looking at it, it's easy to see why, the character design and colour choices (done by none other than Eyvind Earle) are brilliant.

but even more impressive than that is this:


all stop motion paper cut outs. (ridiculously racist as well but oh man the character design!)
