The Ugly DucklingMEDIUM: Photostat Model Sheet IMAGE SIZE: 13" x 10"PRODUCTION: The Ugly Duckling, 1939SKU: CCV6000ABOUT THE FILM: The Ugly Duckling (re-titled as Ugly Duckling in reissues) is a Silly Symphonies animated short film produced by Walt Disney, based on the 1843 fairy tale "The Ugly Duckling" by Hans Christian Andersen. The film was directed by Jack Cutting and Clyde Geronimi, and released in theaters on April 7, 1939. An earlier Silly Symphony animated short based on this fairy tale had been produced in black and white in 1931. The 1939 color film won the 1940 Oscar for Best Short Subject, and also happened to be the last entry in the Silly Symphonies series, although it was branded in certain releases as a special one-shot short. ABOUT THE MEDIUM: Photostat Model Sheets are reference guides used by animators to ensure consistency in character design, proportions, and expressions throughout a film. These printed sheets typically feature multiple poses, facial expressions, and turnarounds of a character, often photocopied from finalized drawings by lead animators. Model sheets help maintain uniformity in animation by providing a standard reference for all artists working on a character, preventing visual discrepancies between different scenes.
