ABOUT THE FILM: Ben and Me is an American animated two-reel short subject produced by Walt Disney Productions and released theatrically on November 10, 1953. It was adapted from the book of the same name written by author/illustrator Robert Lawson and first published in 1939. Though both book and film deal with the relationship between a mouse and American Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, the book, with illustrations by Lawson, focused more heavily on actual historical events and personages, and included incidents from Franklin's French career at Versailles. Ben and Me received an Academy Award nomination for Best Short Subject, Two-reel.
ABOUT THE MEDIUM: Storyboard Drawings show what’s moving in each shot, and in which direction, so that the production team is crystal clear on the desired end result. Photostat Storyboard Sheets are printed copies of the original storyboard drawings that were used by staff during the production of a film.
