In honor of Women's History Month we're producing a two-part series about two artists who were visionaries and trailblazers. In part 2, we look at the career of Mary Blair. She changed the way Walt Disney wanted to make animation and brought modernist sophistication to his style. But not everyone at the studio was on board with Walt's dream to “get Mary in the picture.” I talk with animation historians John Canemaker and Mindy Johnson about the influence of Mary Blair, and how we've experienced her work more than we've actually seen it. And I talk with author Gabrielle Stecher about the more complicated aspects of Blair's legacy. Mindy Johnson's book is Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney Animation. John Canemaker's book is Magic Color Flair: The World of Mary Blair. Gabrielle Stecher's article is “Examining The Legacy of Mary Blair.” This episode is sponsored by Audible and Remi.

In honor of Women's History Month, we're producing a two-part series about two visionary and trailblazing artists: Mary Blair and Milicent Patrick. They went to the same art school. They each began working at Disney during the Depression. They were both singled out for their talents but left in 1941. From there, they went on to have wildly different careers, but each had a lasting impact on pop culture. In part one, I talk with authors and historians Mindy Johnson and Mallory O'Meara about Milicent Patrick. She started as a special effects animator on Fantasia before designing the Gill-man from Creature from the Black Lagoon. Plus, I talk with makeup and effects artist Steve Wang about why the Gill-man is a horror icon. Mallory O'Meara's book is The Lady From The Black Lagoon, and Mindy Johnson's book is Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney Animation. This episode is sponsored by Hims.

Last week we reported how 22-year-old Eleanor Williams who claimed she had been trafficked and raped by an Asian grooming gang was convicted of perverting the course of justice. She will be sentenced in March but we consider the possible impact her conviction could have on how rape is reported, how it's handled by the police and whether women are believed. We hear from the former chief prosecutor for the north west Nazir Ali and Maggie Oliver, the former senior police officer who became a whistle blower for exposing the poor handling of the Rochdale child sex abuse ring case by her own force. Whether it's rail, nurses, ambulance staff or postal workers strikes are becoming an increasingly common part of life. Could teachers across the UK be the next to follow? This week sees some teachers in Scotland striking with unions in England, Wales and NI. balloting their members in the coming days. Three quarters of teachers are female. Nuala talks to a teacher with nearly 30 years experience Michelle Richards and Natalie Perera, Chief Executive of the Education Policy Hira Ahmad is the first woman with Bruck Syndrome, a brittle bone condition, to give birth to a healthy baby. The 28-year-old gave birth to baby girl Dua last January l and now wants to share her story to inspire others with similar conditions. She was given specialist care in St George's Hospital, London led by Professor Asma Khalil, consultant in obstetrics and maternal foetal medicine. Until recently, it was believed that the early pioneers of animation had all been men. That consensus was shattered when historian Mindy Johnson uncovered the previously unseen work of the animator Bessie Mae Kelley from the 1920s. Kelley's films are now the earliest surviving hand-drawn animations by a woman (before this the earliest woman's work was from the 1950s.) Mindy joins Nuala McGovern to discuss gender bias in film history and why this discovery is so ground-breaking. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Beverley Purcell

Introduction The loss of two literary greats, the controversy around ebook embargoes, and a new nonfiction picture book about one of the many women behind some of your favorite Disney art. We’ve got all this and more. I’m Corrina Allen and this is All The Wonders This Week. Thank you for joining us this Tuesday, August 13th, 2019! Joining me today to talk about all things exciting and new in the world of children’s literature is Kathie MacIsaac - she runs the children’s department at the Headingley Municipal Library in Manitoba, Canada, she is also one of the MGBookVillage team, and is currently on the committee of the Manitoba Young Readers’ Choice Awards. KidLit News #KidsNeedMentors matchups were announced today This past week the world lost two literary greats. On August 5th Toni Morrison died at age 88. And although she is most known for her adult works like Beloved and The Bluest Eye, she also wrote for children with her late son, Slade. Titles like Please, Louise and The Big Box. Also this past week, Lee Bennett Hopkins passed away at age 81 on August 8th. If you are interested, there are plans to honor his legacy with a #PoetryFriday celebration of his work at The Poem Farm website on August 23rd. Some publishers like Tor and Macmillan are delaying or limiting library access to eBooks. In Macmillan’s announcement, they revealed “a new lending model that limits public libraries to only one copy of newly-released titles in digital formats, followed by an eight-week embargo on purchasing additional copies.” Here are some links for further reading: https://www.libraryjournal.com/?detailStory=macmillan-announces-two-month-embargo-on-library-ebooks http://www.readersfirst.org/news/2018/7/13/a-communication-to-tormacmillan Upcoming Events The annual Tweens Read Conference in Pasadena, TX takes place onSaturday, October 19th with registration opening on September 1st.

Lockington Corrina: An Indigenous People’s History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and at the same time I am reading the Young People’s adaption of that text that was done by Jean Mendoza and Debbie Reese. Wonderings Corrina: On my mind this week is a post that has been going around social media featuring a Harry Potter bulletin board with 5 mirrors on it and the saying, “Meet the Wizard Responsible for Your…” and underneath each mirror it says Choices, Grades, Success, Words, and Actions. And as a BIG Harry Potter fan, my first reaction was - that is so clever and cute! And then the more I thought about it, the more it didn’t quite sit right with me. I’ve had students who were weren’t successful because their parents couldn’t get them to school on time. And well - Harry owes most of his success to the help of others. So what I’m thinking is that I shouldn’t just jump on something because it looks cute, but think about the deeper implications of the messages I’m sending Katie: I’ve been thinking a lot this week about how I can make my storytimes more inclusive, and move away from seasonal themes to broader topics that can generate more important discussion even at the preschool level. I’ve been really inspired by Jillian Heise and the work she does with #classroombookaday since I got back from nErDcamp in Michigan, and I’ve been wondering how I can adapt the book recommendations and the idea of more meaningful conversation with a younger age group. Closing Thank all of you for listening and sharing your Tuesday with us! You can find an outline of the show and links to all the books and topics we chatted about at allthewonders.com.

The important role that scores of female artists played in the origins of animated imagery at Disney has long been overlooked – until now.

When author Mindy Johnson set out to write a book about of the history (or as Mindy says, the “HERstory”) of Walt Disney‘s definitively female “Ink & Paint” Department, she began her research in the most obvious place: The Disney Archives. I've been to the Disney Archives several times. It's the epicenter of animation history […] The post The Lost HERstory Of Disney Animation :: ArtCast #113 appeared first on ChrisOatley.com.
In part two of this interview, Mindy busts some myths about women and their work in the Walt Disney Studio, and shares some stories of how new techniques were developed by color animators. The topic also turns to the 1941 labor strike at the Walt Disney Studios that forever changed the company. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

It's a super Mouse Meet emporium this week as Team Mousetalgia brings you four fresh interviews, direct from the Pacific Northwest Mouse Meet near Seattle, Washington! First, we speak with Imagineering Executive Producer Jeffrey Shaver-Moskowitz, who led a team of Imagineers in creating Pixar Pier in Disney California Adventure. Jeffrey tells us all about the process, challenges, and decisions that led to the recent unveiling of the new land celebrating all things Pixar. Then, we speak with Disney artist Kevin Kidney, who tells us the story of the creation of Disneyland's nighttime spectacular Fantasmic, a show that he helped develop. We also talk about the road that took Kevin and Jody from the jobs at Disneyland to jobs working for the Disney Catalog creating hundreds of incredible collectibles and works of Disney-related art for us all to purchase and enjoy. Then, we speak with Disney producer and author David Bossert, who talks to us about his latest book "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit: The Search for the Lost Disney Cartoons." We learn about Dave's search for the true history of the illusive Oswald, who has only recently rejoined the Disney family. Finally, we speak with author and historian Mindy Johnson about "Ink and Paint: The Women of Walt Disney's Animation," her recent book that tells the "herstory" of the Walt Disney Studios, and fills in the missing gaps between the men and their pencils and the finished films we all love on the screen. Plus - should James Gunn have been fired? Dave jumps on the Disney Emoji Blitz bandwagon, Kristen shares a recipe for Main Street's Fish Mousse recipe - and more.
For Josh's money, "Peter Pan" is one of the best classic Disney animated films and so he couldn't be more excited today as on the podcast he talks to Kathryn Beaumont, the voice of Wendy Darling. She is joined by Mindy Johnson, an author and historian who literally wrote the book on Tinker Bell. What was filming like? How do these two women see the legacy of the movie? We delve into those questions and more.
December 7, 2017 - Mindy Johnson is an incredible professor as well as an expert on the history of women in animation. I was lucky enough to take one of her classes, and in that time, her new book Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney's Animation was published. It's absolutely fascinating, and I was lucky enough to interview her about her work on it.

History is a puzzle told through many stories- there's a handful of rock stars that shine brighter than the rest- even fewer of those rock stars are women. Mindy Johnson, writer, historian, and the author of the upcoming book, “Ink & Paint: The Women of Walt Disney's Animation”, is about to share the voices of hundreds of forgotten female artists who worked at the Walt Disney Studios from the earliest days when Lillian first met Walt to the hire of Bianca Majolie to help in moving away from gag-driven shorts to longer stories with heart to the introduction of CAPS and digital animation with The Rescuers Down Under. We discuss why it's important to know that although there are still glass ceilings to break in higher creative roles, we have a solid foundation to build upon and firecracker role models to look up to.

Show Notes: Next to Mickey Mouse, the saucy but sweet fairy, Tinker Bell, is considered one of the Disney Company’s most famous icons. Tinker Bell first became a part of the Disney Family with the release of the Walt Disney’s animated film “Peter Pan” on February 5th, 1953. Since then, Tinker Bell has appeared in the 2002 Peter Pan sequel, “Return to Neverland,” received her own fairy franchise that includes many Tinker Bell films, and has been added as a meet-and-greet character in the Disney Parks around the world. But how did Tinker Bell come to be? What *is* her backstory? With the release of Mindy Johnson’s new book, “TINKER BELL: AN EVOLUTION,” fans of the character can read about Tinker Bell’s transition and transformation in J.M. Barrie’s beloved play and book, “Peter Pan,” to the silver screen in Walt Disney’s adaptation of the story about The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up. In this episode of The Tiara Talk Show, Mindy Johnson, author of “TINKER BELL: AN EVOLUTION” chats with host Tammy Tuckey about researching Tinker Bell’s backstory, getting the chance to talk with Disney Legend Alice Davis about her husband, Marc Davis’, creative process behind creating Tinker Bell, her favorite Disney song and more!

"The Optimist" takes center stage in this third episode in Mousetalgia's coverage of the D23 Expo. As part of the promotional machine behind Brad Bird's upcoming film "Tomorrowland," "The Optimist," an alternate reality game, has captured the imaginations of many forward-looking futurists. Participating in the finale of its initial phase at the D23 Expo, Jeff and Kristen report on meeting many of the characters inhabiting this alternate reality as they solve puzzles and chase clues, working together with like-minded souls in their pursuit of a proposed fictional utopian society with which WED was intricately involved. Disney also unveiled its "Tomorrowland" pavilion at D23, burying fans in piles of clues and historical documents, all of which add pieces to the "Tomorrowland" puzzle. We also take a look back at WED's real history during the '64-'65 World's Fair, and try to find some context for Walt Disney's intriguing concept of a glittering "City of Tomorrow."
