WALTER LANTZ STUDIO The Zoo


WALTER LANTZ STUDIO
The Zoo (1933)
original production animation drawing
pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 4.5" x 3.5"
This original final animation drawing of the mean-tempered peg-legged Bear Zookeeper was created by a Lantz Studio animator in production of the animated Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoon, and a cel painting was made directly from it. In this scene the zookeeper holds a lyre snatched from the back of a musical bird before crushing it underfoot. Fred "Tex" Avery was an animator on this cartoon directed by Walter Lantz and Bill Nolan; he contributed a gag in which moths chew up a bear's fur coat, and, instead of hiding or blushing the bear looks to the audience and says: "Well, imagine that!" The animator wrote the studio designation “82” at upper right to indicate this original's place in the scene.
