Towards the end of Maurice Noble’s last stint at Warner Brothers he worked on The Incredible Mr. Limpet. Bill Tytla also worked on animation for the film. Up until reading about this in Stepping Into the Picture, I had never heard of the film, so I looked it up. Here’s what I found.

Charming, isn’t it?

According to Noble, a lot of the beautiful background work created by Phil DeGuard for the film wasn’t used, and the film’s editor superimposed live action footage over them for no other reason than they were too good. Apparently they made the rest of the picture look bad. This was part of the reason why Noble left the studio shortly afterwards.
