Disney has always been best in the business at hand-drawn animation. With computer animation, it's hard for them to top Dreamworks or Pixar, but Tangled came close. I still wish more hand-drawn films like these would come out. They give us the magic that Disney is known for.
Ken Duncan was the lead animator on Jane. He's known for numbering his key frames to help the in-betweeners with the timing. That, and he has notes written sporadically throughout his animations. :)
Watching pencil tests is amazing as a student animator. To me its more amazing to see a film in rough pencil and the animators original drawings then in final color
I really loved this movie. However, on the whole Tarzan talking thing...its kind of impossible. As good as he was at mimicking, it is scientifically impossible for a man who grew up like Tarzan did to ever be able to talk in any kind of human speech. But that's ok, Disney doesn't have to be right, just fun.
I only see where he undered major key frames, especially in the full body shots. Not only do the numbers disappear every so often, but they numbers jump to adjust to the timing. Take a closer look, and you'll see it, too.
well i could understand numbering the keys, extremes, and breakdowns, that seems normal, but if you look through all the full body shots it looks like every frame is numbered
perhaps..I was thinking that it was the work of two different animators and they drew on each other's frames for syncronizing purposes. Like when Tarzan and Jane overlap sometimes. Really though, I'm not sure.
I never noticed that bit in the end before!
Jane: Uhm, can't we waaaaaaaalk...?!
Tarzan: Wewaaaaaaaaaaaaalk!
XD

Glen Keane was 5,640 Miles from Where He Originally Worked on Disney Animated Film. He Was in France for God's Sake.
Tarzan's pretty skilled at mimicking sounds.

amazing how fluid to animation is. My animations are always "wobbly". I gotta learn how they can keep the lines so still...

tarzan was animated in paris jane in the us I have no idea how they pulled that one off...its in the tarzan collectors book

such amazing, life like animation!!
oh yeah your right

I wonder who taught him the syllables "tar" and "zan". *lol*
Mama monke did
why did whoever animated jane number the in-betweens I wonder
One would hope you mean sick in a good way. Like wicked awesome.....shame on you if you don't mean it in a good way.
