“Fergy isn’t animating forms…he’s animating forces.”

“Norm ‘Fergy’ Ferguson served as the lead animator on the Big Bad Wolf in Walt Disney’s Silly Symphony, The Three Little Pigs. This was easily the juiciest character he had animated up to that point.

“Ferguson’s animation clearly communicates the frustration and anger the Wolf is feeling in the film, and he used clear, strong poses as well as broad body movements that showed expression not just in the face but also in the entire body.

“One brilliant scene in particular is the one where the Wolf is breathing heavy and then blows it out. Fergy isn’t animating forms there; he’s animating forces.”

“We used classical Greek forms for the design of [Meg’s] body. The torso is similar to an ‘ionic order’. Her hips, chest, head were basic vase shapes. (Notice the ‘love handles’.)”

– Ken Duncan, lead animator of Meg from Disney’s Hercules (1997)
