“Servants’ Entrance” early Disney animation done for Fox

May 20th, 2008

Didier Ghez has posted a great piece of film on his Disney History blog. From the blog:

If you have read this blog from the start, you may remember this post, in which I mentioned Servants’ Entrance (1934) from Fox, which contains a six minute long animated nightmare sequence in b/w made by the Disney Studio.

A very serious collector from Paris that I met last week was kind enough to give it to me as a birthday gift. Here it is for all of you to enjoy.

The live-action section of the clip is also fascinating. Did anyone say Snow White?

While this piece predates the Disney’s Snow White by three years, there are several similarities.

I had no idea that Disney did any work for studios other than themselves, save the Alice comedies and their war time shorts. I was surprised to see this very rare piece of animation, and I’m anxious to read more on the Disney History Blog.
