I just found out that more than likely my great grandmother was one of "pretty girls". Before my grandfather passed away in 07, he told me my great grandmother worked for disney on snow white and bambi. I did some research and found out she was probably one of the women in the paint and ink department. This actually makes me happy.
Yes! I have wondered about this for years. It sounds like there was a speaking style or accent that seemed to vanish sometime after the 60's. It is bizarre. Sort of a variation on a New York accent perhaps?
@@JJGhostHunters Apparently they spoke like that so they could be easily understood. Microphones back then weren't the best of quality so they had to pronounce every word clearly.
Twenty three skidoo! That hot mama sure is sweeter than the fine taste of charleston chew. This process of animation film making onto nitrocelluloid film is fascinating, to be sure!
Walt Disney was born like in the 1900's and most of the animators probably were older than Walt Disney and these are really simple designs of the cartoon characters so it's safe to say that most of these animators could probably draw 250,000 perfect circles Oh yeah most of the frames were not even that perfect the inking is what hides all the mistakes
What's even more amazing is realizing this was somebody's day job. They simply did this to put food on the table as a means of providing for their family. Most of the workers didn't even get credited for their creations. Today it blows our minds, but in that time period we completely took for granted what we thought or assumed we would always have.
The amount of hands-on manpower that was necessary, is completely alien to so many viewers of today's digital content. I'm so glad to see this explained here and hope it gives new appreciation to those who watch today.
These days it's much easier to make cartoons. Many of the necessary sound effects are available online, and cartoons are made much more efficiently than before with drawing tablets. It is very possible for a single creator to make an impressive cartoon now, possibly even within a month (depending on the complexity of it). I have several months worth of progress in both digital and traditional 2D animation (more so the former), and I personally prefer digital animation, since it requires a much smaller workspace, and I often don't have much space to work with. Though traditional animation is much more rewarding. I used to scan hundreds of paper drawings in my printer for animation before I got my Cintiq. :D
The people who did this work had extremely tedious task to accomplish. Imagine an artist having to draw nearly the same picture over and over with only slight variations until a new scene. Then repeating that process until they have a finished product which is, in the grand scheme of things, the only extremely rewarding event in the process. You’ve got to take your hats off to them.
You guys appreciating the fact it’s all hand drawn and not the actual hard parts of cel animation is super hilarious to me And yes I do hand drawn animation so can’t debate me on that
You need people to control the computers genius. Plus the women in disney back then were thought to not be creative like men so they just gave them jobs like cleanup and cell coloring.
i just did a 10 second animation on my computer and did little to no amount of work compared to these people. But kudos to them man. Animation is so much work
I cannot imagine how expensive this would be today, computer animation is a skill all its own, but you cannot discredit hand animation as anything less than a true art form. Any last minute edits would require tedious labor compared to maybe a few hours of program tweaking today. Computer animation can be beautiful, think Frozen, Zootopia, or Inside Out as modern Disney examples, but making animation more cost friendly also makes the crop of bad films that much more. If a studio can make a profit off of a film that might be a total failure decades ago, then why not? They'll make up for it in DVD sales. I guess in a way that's a double edged sword though, think of all the films we may have missed out on because nobody thought it was "worth the celluloid" so to speak.
Nick Sorenson but then again isn't that simply because of the difference in complexity? Try recreating tangled in traditional animation and that price and time would soar up. That's the thing with CGI, you have more money so you spend it on even more realism and complexity, whereas comparing tangled and princess and the frog based on animation alone, is kinda like comparing an apple and an orange?
@@peterbrown5456 family guy isn’t animated with paper, you’re talking about storyboards almost every animated film does that, also they stopped doing storyboards with paper 8 years ago now they use digital.
@@PhillipMasol if you see my comment I said "were" Family Guy up until recently was animated on paper. I should know I was the overseas supervisor on it from season 4 to season 8 and a bit of season 9 but now it is not done on paper. Pretty much the only ones using paper are Japan but even some of the animation in Japan is going digital. you are right about story boards being done digitally but even they were digital and paper because when they send the show packs to Korea they also have a paper version. I don't think they do any more though. That was mostly for when they were animated on paper. I have not kept track of the show since I left it.
Old Disney cartoons are so special and unique, and seeing the hard work and dedication it took back in the day to make Disney movies, I can't help but feel wildly inspired! this is why I love 2d animation. It's just a whole new level of talent and dedication.
My dream is to work in animation. Character designer, storyboard artist, animator... anything! This video doesn't discourage me at all! In fact, I find it rather fun and magical to go through this process. Now I'm even more motivated to achieve my dream 🖤
I’m still just utterly blown away at how they did this, imagine doing this today. Painting and drawing every single frame. On top of all that, making the sounds yourself with real props instead of just stock noises
1938!! They did all of this in 1938. Amazing! True artists that laid the foundation for animation and cartoons today. If it wasn't for these heroes we wouldn't have been where we were today.
But how is the animation so fluid? Even with today's technology, it's difficult to find animation as fluid moving as these Disney classics. It's like magic or something.
It’s because real people were involved, who had a natural sense for timing of movement (or at least studied specific actions and emotions) when they were animating something, as opposed to letting the computer define the in-betweens of key frames in animation. Computers may be able to break down actions into a certain number of frames for animation, but it’s not as exact as that alone. Drawings may need to be squashed and stretched and emphasis put more on one aspect of the drawing or part of it than another to make it “feel” right when played back. Quality animation is something that people can achieve as artists, but not a computer. A computer only knows what you tell it, and it can’t edit things on it’s own from experience like a human can. Animators were not just skilled artists in animation, but actors and people who were sensitive to their environments and how people, animals and characters interacted within it. That was the “Disney Magic”. Not just animation, it was real STORYTELLING.
Gosh animation looks like such a daunting task. They all make it look so easy despite all the work that goes into making it. Lots of love and appreciation to all animators as most people don't even realize how much work animation is. But my what a glorious art form.
Clearly you don't appreciate the amount of work it takes to do any sort of animation. All animation deserves respect regardless of what animation it is as it all takes hard work to do.
You should think about marvel they have a deadline in 2 days why do you think she hulk cgi is so bad and also the whole show is bad but the cgi just got worse
I love the section where they emphasise how comfortable the female Disney employees are - a true sign of the times! Thanks uploader, it's great to see footage like this.
Now i know why the animations were so good with such an old technology: they were allive. That is each scene carried the beauty of the human hand drawing, with its imperfections. Each frame is a little different in a way that is filled with life. Today it requires a lot of technology to do this and it doesn`t look as good.
You do realize that anumations are still drawn by hand, yea? Just because you don't have to draw on paper anymore, can actually fix errors witgout scraping your work nor use film doesnt mean the process is different or inhuman, it is just a lot easier.
@@IAm-zo1bo Theres a difference between being lazy, and something genuinely just being a lot better to work with. If I gave you a old chipped cup with cracks, would you take it over a new cup? No, because the new cup serves its purpose better. Keep in mind though, most, if not all animators today, do traditional art as well. We are not lazy, we still draw on paper. The issue with animation though is big companies dont, and if we want to get a job they require digital work. It also does not require people to fly halfway across the world and move out of their home / from their families to work. Digital art still takes just as much talent and work though, it just makes the job a whole lot less stressful because of the qol features / program features, it may make working easier, but you still need to have the talent to draw in the first place to take advantage of those features. This would be like saying someone is lazy for calling someone on the phone instead of mailing them a letter, theres a difference between being lazy, and something just being downright a smarter thing to do. also you can replicate this animation style with digital art, I have done it, disney just chooses not too.
I watched a video like this when I was little about the making of bambi and I thought it was so amazing, now we have computers to do all of this and I feel like we've gotten so lazy. Some part of me want to bring this back, it was so beautiful and difficult, I just feel like it meant more...
im just gonna make a quick statement, the world is evolving, art is evolving with it, art is about expressing creativity, everybody should have access to it, its not about hard work, infact its easier to get some looks with digital then it is with traditional, and vise versa, i love both.
I have always loved disneys hand drawn movies, cuz they give a more personal touch in how it feels when you watch it. I like the new movies too, but it is a bit boring with 3D and to make it look like real people. So seeing the process on how disney made my favorite kinds of movies, it just makes it more magical to me. I appreciate those movies way more, and I grew up with them cuz I was lucky. I will love these movies even more from now on when I know how much work they did to make the great movies💖
Everyone's so hung up on the "pretty girls" thing. They hired talented women and said in the video they were all pretty. How the heck is that a bad thing? It doesn't mean they hired only pretty women. It was a compliment to all the women there.
The point is, why was it necessary to include "pretty" when addressing them? It implies that they only hire attractive women for the jobs, and also implies that this documentary was chiefly aimed at straight men.
Walt Disney was the reason for Disney being what they are today, doesn't get enough credit in my opinion, they've went downhill really since the 90's, I mean every now & then they pull off something pretty good but usually it's just a CGI made cartoon bs film, I miss the actual drawing & inking process, an actual Cartoon.
+JeffTheFutureJaros Walt Disney is the reason why animation is popular today. Aside from creating the first full-length animated film he's also a huge driving force in animation industry
+JeffThefutureJaros The dude won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations. He is still a cultural icon and the largest entertainment company in the world is still running by his name. I don't think he is under appreciated or forgotten. Also CGI is equally hard. They don't have a magic wand to create animation in CGI. Its still the same work and effort . Instead of paper they draw it digitally. I think Disney is doing fine now especially last 10 years.
Now, all it takes is a few people, a computer, and a couple weeks to do what took thousands of people, hundreds of pieces of machines, and many many months.
I agree with all of you in saying that cel animation is better that CG, though that is a matter of opinion. Though I agree, I think that it (in moderation, not every last stinking cartoon) CG is okay. I will say as an animator, hand drawn (though much more difficult than CG) is a lot more fun to make.
+Deacon Lindsey I prefer to mix both. I've watched an anime called Garden of Words and it has one of the most beautiful visuals in animation. Most scenes just looks so realistic
The multi layer camera… genius. I can’t imagine seeing that in action as an animator for the first time. It’s like you broke through to another dimension. I’d want to use it all the time lol
Imagine every frame painted by hand! That’s too much betweening labour. But we can’t achieve the same Raw effect today with all the automation available!!!
Okay I wanna point something out I feel like people are comparing digital animation to cel animation Like yes, I get it, back then they worked so hard on every little frame, I find it really really amazing of how much patience and effort these people putted into their work back then. Even now, on digital, people have to put effort and draw every little frame, still same result, just a bit quicker since everything is kind of built in nowadays
Exactly lmao, it’s too damn hilarious seeing people describe what even big shows still do nowadays as impressive and not anything else which are actually impressive.
One of the things Charles M. Jones didn’t like when working at this studio, was the fact that you didn’t work on anything Walt didn’t approve, and so he left. And if it is true, Walt asked Mr. Jones if he could give him a job to make him stay. Mr. Jones said the only one to make him stay, would have been Walt’s. I wonder what the studio would have been like if he’d have stayed?
The process behind creation used to be so different... it required such dedication. This video had me teary as did thoughts of how things have changed for convenience. Modern content often lacks depth because of it...
The optimistic way to look at it now is that the barrier of entry is lower, so you don't need to be a multi-million dollar corporation to begin a project. Snow White cost 1.5 million dollars in 1937, which is almost 27 million dollars in 2019 dollars. Lots of 'regular' people can make short animated films, and smaller studios can make films. Of course, with more entries, you are likely to get more duds, but overall I think it's a good thing more artists get practice and opportunities. How many creative people in 1937 were unable to try animation because it was too expensive?
I draw in 2D then digitally color and animate using after effects to throw in extra stuff. I should really post some of my works on UA-cam. Just need to find a way to do it without taking so damn long
I always come back to this and the process is amazing of course. But I always enjoy the narrator. He mentions the “pretty girls and air conditioned rooms” but he also calls the directors “hard-boiled” which is so hilarious talking about writers of Snow White of all things, since a “hard-boiled” refer to anti-heroes lol. Just always amuses me
Wow I’m watching Snow White and I was like I wonder how movies were mad back then. I just pressed on a random animation video, and what a coincidence it was about snow white
I just found out that more than likely my great grandmother was one of "pretty girls". Before my grandfather passed away in 07, he told me my great grandmother worked for disney on snow white and bambi. I did some research and found out she was probably one of the women in the paint and ink department. This actually makes me happy.

Wow how complex everything was and we still somehow managed to figure it out. It's Outstanding what people can create👏 👏 👏
I appreciate and respect the people who made my life so memorable with these cartoon
I can’t believe they made us think that back then was just black and white
Legends, Disney and Warner Bros and their crew of animators back in those days. I respect Walt Disney a lot
i like how they said "pretty girls" xD if i worked on outline or w/e will that make me pretty
No
Paint
And im hate having to correct the line work so that the bucket fills it well, amazing
Old is gold
this is so incredible
Walt Disney has been a Unique Personality with having an amazing imagination
@Mr. Will its a product of its time, he died in the 1960s, cant expect to much lol.
No social apps , u-tubes,computers or etc in between . Ony work pure work . What a dedicated era.❤️
because science wasn't advanced lmao. Yall talk like they are deliberately withholding themselves from technology
Bruh I cant stop going back at 1:40 to see that HANDSOME man
no he's a clever animator, not a handsome animator. but the girls are pretty
@@RatKeeperDude 💀💀💀
@@RatKeeperDude is that supposed to be a sarcastic joke?
lol why do you even get on just by with making faces.
Its still awesome that every single movement is one hand drawn picture. And they only took months to finish a whole movie. Massive respect
Walt Disney was the reason for Disney being what they are today, doesn't get enough credit in my opinion, they've went downhill really since the 90's, I mean every now & then they pull off something pretty good but usually it's just a CGI made cartoon bs film, I miss the actual drawing & inking process, an actual Cartoon.
+JeffTheFutureJaros I'd say Disney gradually went down hill ever since the 'mid' 90's, the early early 90's still had some decent stuff.
*****
Yeah, mid nineties started really sucking.
+JeffTheFutureJaros Walt Disney is the reason why animation is popular today. Aside from creating the first full-length animated film he's also a huge driving force in animation industry
+Paul Francis Goneda as you all forget frozen disney aint slipped at all dont forget star wars , there doing fine
+JeffThefutureJaros The dude won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations. He is still a cultural icon and the largest entertainment company in the world is still running by his name. I don't think he is under appreciated or forgotten. Also CGI is equally hard. They don't have a magic wand to create animation in CGI. Its still the same work and effort . Instead of paper they draw it digitally. I think Disney is doing fine now especially last 10 years.
Now, all it takes is a few people, a computer, and a couple weeks to do what took thousands of people, hundreds of pieces of machines, and many many months.
No words but "Respect"
Wow! This was absolutely amazing to watch.
I agree with all of you in saying that cel animation is better that CG, though that is a matter of opinion. Though I agree, I think that it (in moderation, not every last stinking cartoon) CG is okay. I will say as an animator, hand drawn (though much more difficult than CG) is a lot more fun to make.
+Deacon Lindsey I prefer to mix both. I've watched an anime called Garden of Words and it has one of the most beautiful visuals in animation. Most scenes just looks so realistic
+Deacon Lindsey But overall I still like traditional animation a bit
+Deacon Lindsey It looks more alive because of all those little flaws that make the character look alive and breathing even when he is still.
Deacon8or I think it has a different nature to consider as a material as an artist - not better or worse
Yep
The multi layer camera… genius. I can’t imagine seeing that in action as an animator for the first time. It’s like you broke through to another dimension. I’d want to use it all the time lol
I didn't realize how many people it took to draw and color the old movies. geez!
Amazing how animations back then are of such a higher quality despite being made with such ancient tools.
Imagine every frame painted by hand!
That’s too much betweening labour.
But we can’t achieve the same Raw effect today with all the automation available!!!
Okay I wanna point something out
I feel like people are comparing digital animation to cel animation
Like yes, I get it, back then they worked so hard on every little frame, I find it really really amazing of how much patience and effort these people putted into their work back then. Even now, on digital, people have to put effort and draw every little frame, still same result, just a bit quicker since everything is kind of built in nowadays
Exactly lmao, it’s too damn hilarious seeing people describe what even big shows still do nowadays as impressive and not anything else which are actually impressive.
Agh
I can't wait to bring this back.
Bro working at that time must have been so fun and fulfilling...
Still better than Powerpuff Girls(2016).
I'm pretty sure most things are better than that...
Still? This Will be better than new animations forever
Old cartoons are all better than the new ones.
I WILL REIGN truuuu
I WILL REIGN HEY I LOVE THE POWER PUFF GIRLS
WOW, THIS HARD WORD AND DEDICATION!!! MAJOR RESPECT TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS!!!
literally loving how he says "pretty girls"
One of the things Charles M. Jones didn’t like when working at this studio, was the fact that you didn’t work on anything Walt didn’t approve, and so he left. And if it is true, Walt asked Mr. Jones if he could give him a job to make him stay. Mr. Jones said the only one to make him stay, would have been Walt’s. I wonder what the studio would have been like if he’d have stayed?
I love how he refers to all the women working on the movie as “pretty girls.” Really conveys to you the time period this was made in.
The process behind creation used to be so different... it required such dedication. This video had me teary as did thoughts of how things have changed for convenience. Modern content often lacks depth because of it...
The optimistic way to look at it now is that the barrier of entry is lower, so you don't need to be a multi-million dollar corporation to begin a project. Snow White cost 1.5 million dollars in 1937, which is almost 27 million dollars in 2019 dollars.
Lots of 'regular' people can make short animated films, and smaller studios can make films. Of course, with more entries, you are likely to get more duds, but overall I think it's a good thing more artists get practice and opportunities. How many creative people in 1937 were unable to try animation because it was too expensive?
@@akim2442 You could still be an indie animator back then, It would just be more compilcated
“Oldies but Goldies”
Absolutely unbelievable team work.
Does anyone miss this style of speaking and this accent
Yep the transatlantic accent
4:38 This is the song I heard when I was watching the movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The cartoon songs they played before were awesome.
I draw in 2D then digitally color and animate using after effects to throw in extra stuff. I should really post some of my works on UA-cam. Just need to find a way to do it without taking so damn long
Because you shouldn't be animating your drawings in after effects.
Uae toonboom or adobe animate or something.
There is just something so captivating when watching these early pioneer animators as they were cartoon masterminds
2:35 did he said « where hundreds of pretty girls, in a comfortable building…. ”?
4:46 this i song is from white snow
They are so talented
4:17 damn that guy was going hard last night
I always come back to this and the process is amazing of course.
But I always enjoy the narrator. He mentions the “pretty girls and air conditioned rooms” but he also calls the directors “hard-boiled” which is so hilarious talking about writers of Snow White of all things, since a “hard-boiled” refer to anti-heroes lol.
Just always amuses me
look at the amount of work is put into to everything wow
Wow I’m watching Snow White and I was like I wonder how movies were mad back then. I just pressed on a random animation video, and what a coincidence it was about snow white
Well you see, they just had to ink two angled lines, under that draw a circle and a black one inside, and there you go.
I like it when that guy just drew mickey with speed and precision.
so satisfying
When you think about it, this is exactly like stop motion claymation films. Just a different style. That must have been a huge pain in the ass to do.
CLAY ANIMATION?
Bro that would've been soooo painful XD
Not exactly, but it’s technically stop motion. The ironic thing is that modern digital animation would be closer to it.
All kinds of artists working together to give us those movies, I wish more people understood the amount of skill it takes.
