my god, for some reason this vid makes jafar seem more insane than I remember. otherwise I really love looking at these pencil tests. these are the kind of animations that I wanna learn how to do.
Thanks so much for sharing! All of this is incredible, but I especially enjoy how you presented the "run along with your little toys" sequence. The staging for that bit is really superb; even the roughs do a great job of showing that fluid transition across pages.
I keep coming back to watch this, it's absolutely incredible the work that went into these types of films. I've always been fascinated by how things were made since I was a kid, especially having to do with film, animated or otherwise. Amazing work, there's no words to describe the awesomeness of it. I do have a question, something I've wondered about since I was little during the Disney Renaissance: for shots like when we trail upward towards Jafar at his introduction, is that all animated? It almost looks like a camera craning upward, I've always been fascinated by that effect.
So interesting to see how there were some shots, and also lines of dialogue, that were either reworked or scrapped completely in the final film. Also I'm surprised how rough these tests could be in their earliest stages. Some of these tests are barely legible scribbles. Just enough information to go on to get a basic idea of how the scene will play out.
That's because these two scenes were actually removed by the animators/production because they thought they were too out of character for him - same thing goes for the clip of him petting Iago on the head; they thought it was too expressive/made his personality too excessive too early on in the movie.

7:27 his laugh 😆 is even more scarier than the 🃏.
Jafar is My Favourite Disney Character Yet!
I love the pompous condescending expression he often has on face lol. Really sells his personality.
AMAZING!! I could watch this for days. So smooth. So expressive. And I love the raised leg at 7:22
This test is Super inspiring Andreas!!!!!
Jafar is so gleefully evil.
1:08 of course, he is.
*Melts in awe* Oh my goodness, all this with a pencil and paper. How I wish I could do this. I'll get there! With enough work... hopefully...
3:32 Jafar must be doing an impression of Hadji from 'Johnny Quest'.
