Continuing with the UPA theme that I have sort of been running with all week, here is an early Mr Magoo model sheet that I found at the ASIFA Hollywood Animation Archive.


Here’s an early Betty Boop model sheet made not long after she transformed from a dog into a human.


Over on Ebay there is a model sheet of Donald’s cousin, Gus Goose up for auction. It is very nice to look at and quite interesting in that it makes a reference to Wolfgang ‘Wooley’ Reitherman, one of Disney’s famed ‘Nine Old Men’! The asking price is just $50, which is very cheap for something this nice looking.


Looking on Ebay in the last few weeks I saw some Ferdinand the Bull model sheets up for sale. I believe that the model sheets are all copies of the originals, but they still look good to me. As I have said earlier, Ferdinand is one of my favourite cartoons.


This model sheet is currently up for auction on Ebay. It’s going quite cheap too, just $40. The seller says that it’s an original Disney model sheet from the 1940s Mickey and the Beansalk segment of Fun and Fancy Free. I’m not entirely sure if this is true, but it does look very nice.


Bosko was the first Looney Tunes star. He found a bit of popularity in the early 1930s before leaving the Warner Bros studio, when his creators Hugh Harmon and Rudy Ising went to set up a cartoon studio for MGM. Bosko never really rivalled Mickey Mouse or Popeye in popularity but he did help establish the two cartoon studios that would produce the best animated shorts in the 1940s.
