Eyvind Earle (1916-2000.) Earle was a painter, illustrator, and author. He also worked in the animation industry at Disney during the 1950’s. Animations he worked on included “Peter Pan”, “Sleeping Beauty”, and “Lady and the Tramp.” What I love about his work is his whimsical shapes, the color choices, and the surreal feeling of his images. Wonderful stuff. To view more I’ve provided a link to his gallery in Wikipaintings where most of these are from. Enjoy!
“Energetically Yours” was produced in 1957 by Transfilm for the Standard Oil Company. It’s a cartoon history of mankind and his use of energy. The film was designed by the great illustrator Ronald Searle, and features an outstanding musical score by composer Lyn Murray. Directed by UPA co-founder Dave Hilberman. The animation was produced by Quartet Films and Playhouse Pictures. Narrated by Marvin Miller.
