I loved doing all the interviews and directing the Disney Family Album series. Milt was one of my favorites. For one thing, he did very few interviews, so it was an honor to get to speak with him. And I'll never forget the expressions he made when he was doing that Pinocchio drawing. Fierce and focused, and very alive, like he was pouring his own life into the drawing. I could imagine him making those same faces while he was at his animation desk. I'll have a few stories about Milt that have never been told before in the book I'm writing, 'Me and the Mouse,' about my experiences over 20 years working with The Walt Disney Company. [Andreas Deja--would you like an advance copy? One of Milt's stories involves you. Naturally.]
I've been collecting vintage Disney documentary stuff on my rumble page including the Walt Disney Family Album. I wish that series had went on and we need a revival to capture all of the important real history of the 80's and 90's now...Was there a lot of interview material that didn't make it into these shows? Do you think that material still exists?
Milt is a humble genius. I mean his work in Sword in the Stone (among others) is beyond comparison. His drawings of arms and hands is still used as a guide up to today by animators. God bless you, Milt Kahl.
Absolutely incredible! I hope there is a lot more. I could watch him draw all day long and listen to him talk about Walt and the characters he's animated endlessly. Thank you so much for sharing this!

As an animator myself, I still can't get over the fact that he's drawing with a sharpie! That's mad talent right there.
Incredible how he makes only a crossed balloon to make construction lines... Thank you Andreas for posting this.
Amazing,thanks, dream it,draw it,do it,be blessed,saved all in Jesus shalom
My favorite animation technique from Milt Kahl is his signature head swaggle.

Milt must've did a fine job voicing Ferdinand the bull!
Thank you so much for posting this!!!!
Oh, Miltie-Pie!
Amazing Man
Looks like outtakes from "Disney Family Album" the way it's presented here (though I could be wrong if it's what was shown on there).
