ABOUT THE IMAGE: This photostat model sheet titled "Abigail & Amelia" was made at Disney Studio during production of The Aristocats (1970), and it was issued to animators for their use in drawing the two geese. A note written by the film's director Wolfgang Reitherman reading, "OK Woolie," has been reproduced below the title.

ABOUT THE MEDIUM: Photostat Model Sheets are reference guides used by animators to ensure consistency in character design, proportions, and expressions throughout a film. These printed sheets typically feature multiple poses, facial expressions, and turnarounds of a character, often photocopied from finalized drawings by lead animators. Model sheets help maintain uniformity in animation by providing a standard reference for all artists working on a character, preventing visual discrepancies between different scenes.
