SCREENINGS DISCUSSIONS Walt Disney’s bold vision for the visual style, costumes, scenes, and settings for his feature-length masterpiece is remarkably unified from beginning to end. Achieving this singular effect required the coordinated efforts of dozens of artists and dedicated animators. Historian Donald Crafton comments on the variety of fine art traditions that culminated in the film’s consistent “look and feel” and highlights the contributions of those members of the Disney staff associated with the California Water Color Society.
