Tom Oreb’s Tinkerbell and Hook
Tom Oreb was the primary designer of Disney’s short-lived TV commercial division in the mid-1950s. One of his assigments was to redesign the Disney feature characters for use in TV spots, and he created ’simplified’ models of characters from SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS, PINOCCHIO, SONG OF THE SOUTH, CINDERELLA, PETER PAN and ALICE IN WONDERLAND, as well as streamlining the shorts characters like Mickey and Donald. Below is a model sheet he did for PETER PAN.

Thanks, Amid, for posting these with larger versions. I love seeing all the detail and pencil marks. Wonderful.

God, I’m really in heaven with these last several days’ posts. No wonder Ward blew me a new one(with a shotgun) for not knowing who “Tom! OREB!” was! I’m in love with him now, that’s for certain.
I just can’t wait for this book.

That’s Ward Kimball, folks — not me!
And I’m with you, Jenny, I can’t wait for this book to come out.

Ohhh, crap, Ward J! See what happens when YOU share a name with a famous artist, and I get sloppy with my nomenclature? Sorry, man! *slinks away in embarrassment*

Awesome Gators! (Or are they crocodiles?)
I’ve been interested in Tom Oreb’s designs ever since I was introduced to his work in Blast#6. I remember particularly enjoying his “Destination Earth” backgrounds and that Welch’s fox design.
Great stuff - thanks!

No problem, Jenny — I still find it strange to see my name being used for someone else. I’ve never had that problem growing up because the rarity of my name.
Now if there was some way I could gain Ward Kimball’s TALENT, then I’d be cookin’ with gas!

Amid, these rule! If you have any more Peter Pan or Alice models by Oreb, I’m dying to see them.
