Anyone who worked at Disney Feature Animation over the past forty years knew who Vance Gerry was. Very few actually got to see his work before it was shipped off to the archives.
Fortunately, the geek in me started making copies of his work and instead of sitting in a folder in my personal archive I want to share these drawings with as many people as possible. If you look long enough at these drawings and paintings you will be able to see the kind, funny, humble and generous man that was Vance Gerry.
Enjoy.

Would you believe...?
Hard to believe this was for what became "Home On The Range". Someone could write a book on that journey alone.
Wow. You're right; it's hard to believe. Sweet drawing.
Just from viewing the process from the outside, the story of that film's development was wild and bewildering. I'd read that book - and one about Kingdom of the Sun, too.
