  • I pulled this from the Lion King Delux Laser Disc. This is the scene where Simba and Nala first arrive at the elephant graveyard and meet the hyeans: mixed pencil tests, storyboards, and full color.

    because nowadays this kind of animation is more expensive than 3d in terms of time and people involved. with 3d making a 90 minutes animated film requires the half (or less) of people that a classic animation would require, and this means less money to spend. Also, 3d movies are done in less time. so it's all for money, and it sucks cause 3d will never give the feelings and emotions that classic animation gives.

    I LOVE THIS!!!! This gives the movie a whole new perspective. I absolutly respect what the animaters do. When we see the finished film, we either forget or don't relize the time and energy infolved in its creation. This is why I would love it if they would involve this in the DVD releaces. The whole movie in its raw and unfinished form.

    Typically three to four years. The studio staff was divided into units which worked simultaneously on staggered schedules on each movie. That way, Disney could put out a movie each year, as opposed to only being able to put out one every three or four years as the studio did in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.

  • @Marbles471
    @Marbles471 16 років тому +3

    (continuing) Disney invented the concept of animation as ACTING, as opposed to just moving drawings.
    In Japan, the emphasis seems to be more on sensuality and evocativeness. (I mean Ghibli-level stuff, not TV anime--usually just "moving drawings"). Sure, they're using the medium to act, too, but less overtly. The emphasis on flowing movement isn't there, but their films can be physically evocative in a way that Disney-type animation can't. ("Akira" stands out in that regard, too.)

  • @purpleindicabrownies
    @purpleindicabrownies 14 років тому +3

    @hedgehogamy300 Well, film is shown at 24 frames per second, so, every second is 24 drawings, making a 30 minute show without commercials, 43200 drawings, and this is assuming they did all the animation on a single layer, which is not the case. So to answer your question, a whole helluva lot.

      Hate to burst your bubble, but I don't think Tangled captures all the essence of 90s Disney. 90s Disney movies had breath taking animated characters and gorgeous backgrounds that truly felt like Disney. Tangled on the other hand has animated characters and backgrounds that feel like a Pixar movie instead of a Disney movie. If you ask me, the Princess and the Frog really captured all the essence of 90s Disney not Tangled. But that's just my opinion.

Mufasa is alerted by his majordomo, the hornbill Zazu, and rescues the cubs. Though disappointed with Simba for disobeying him and endangering himself and Nala, Mufasa forgives him and explains that the great kings of the past watch over them from the night sky, from which he will one day watch over Simba.

    @CocoHotpix they do pencil drawings on cels then they record it with a special type of camera that takes it and they photograph each frame onto a camera that splices it onto a film reel.

    Comes down to this: the kind of animation tradionally made by Disney and the kind of animation made by Ghibli have different priorities.
    During the watershed decade of the '30s, Disney developed, out of virtually nothing, the brand-new art of character animation, where the personality of a character will dictate the way they move, as in real life. Virtually all the principles and techniques used to this day, by everyone, were developed there during those few short years. (continued)

    Are you talking about a zoetrope?
    But I see what you mean, most people nowadays assume that 'animation' = Pixar = computers. Pixar is only that good because they understand the principles of animation, gesture, life drawing and Art. Computers is just a tool.
    For those who are curious, you can get into Pixar with only a 2d reel and once you're there, you don't see HD renderings, but rather simple drawings hanging on the walls.
