I am latin but fortunately I speak English too,so I started to watch this movie with the original voices. Robbie Benson has a very soft voice when he is the kind Beast, but also a very frightening one when the Beast is angry
@@DD-zh6hz Sorry I'm late, but yes. The directors said they filtered Robby's voice for practically every line as the Beast. Except for his singing and when he turned back into a human.
For anyone wanted to know the process: After these drawings have been inbetweened, they are passed to cleanup artists who take what I think is called acetone? Essentially a clear plastic sheet and carefully traces the black ink final line, before it is passed to painters to paint the color. They paint the color by hand using a paintbrush, and must carefully match the color of each character. While this is happening the background is being drawn and painted. Then each item is brought together, laid over the top of one another with the background first, then the clear acetone and then any foreground elements that will cover the characters (maybe a tree or rock for example) before an image is taken on a camera and edited in a computer. The whole process takes a lot of time, often animators could only play their work back a couple of times if at all while animating as it cost so much to photograph it and print it as film. So to manage it, they used timing charts, there are tutorials on youtube for how these are used. Hope this information was helpful!
Nice explanation! Ink and paint celluloids. I think the little mermaid was the last Disney film to use that traditional physical tracing ink so i think beauty and the beast used a different method and software
But Beauty and The Beast didn't use acetate cels, the animated pictures were scanned and painted digitally on a computer using a software called CAPS, the handpainted backgrounds are scanned too and placed digitally, then they create a digital negative and a print on 35mm film.
I think the rough drawings have more depth in some ways. The thicker lines and shading that’s more emphasized than in the finished drawing somehow make it more expressive. I may be weird but I like the rough drawings better than the finished product. The finished product has a lot more thin lines and more detail. But the rough drawings focus more on the most important features. Plus the roughs are more charming. It’s the human organic feel. Versus the super clean and exact.
@@narnia1233 no you aren't weird. look up the roughs of ariel by glen keane. It's only like 4 seconds but they're stunning. I wish there was a way to watch the whole movie like that. It's definitely the variety in line weight and the emphasis on gesture. You can tell they're mixing up how they hold the pencil. Using the flat side for broader strokes really adds a lot of depth to it compared to just one clean uniform line weight like the final has.
@@ben-wg9se I would love to see a whole movie just in rough art style too! I’ve read comics/manga that are in a rough style, but mainly I think it was due to necessity, and I always loved them. But, to be honest I used to draw myself a long time ago and one time I was working on creating a comic and I showed my friends and they basically all said, cool, so when’s the finished piece going to be done? And I could never get my friends interested in anything that wasn’t the clean, polished look. It was very discouraging at the time. And I’ve seen people commenting similarly on other comics that I read that had a rough art style. So it’s just been my experience that most people don’t like it. But, I legitimately like it better than the finished style. I have another channel, Pangie12, where I am creating manga music videos. I also choose purposely to work with manga instead of anime because I just love the original art of the comic so much more then the final animation product. Anyways nice to meet some other people who like rough art too. I love Glen Keane, BTW. Did you know he started out as a sculptor? He didn’t get into animation right away. I think too that’s why his roughs are better (in my opinion) than the final cleaned up animation. Because the shading and everything he does really gives that sculptural feel. It’s like a renaissance piece or something. Just so beautiful.
Animators are just like actors if you think about it. The only difference being they don’t show their faces but instead translate/project their character onto the paper.
It tends to add a blur and "vitality.' That's something Richard Williams mentioned. Especially if its shot with a camera at a capture station. If it's scanned, it loses some of that.
It's like when you make a rough sketch and then ink it and it suddenly doesn't look as good. I always hate when the happens because I end up ruining the whole thing by doing chicken scratch lines to try and bring back some of the roughness.
Considering that these movies are animated at 24 frames per second, and this video is 25 seconds long, there are about 600 frames in just that small clip alone. O.O
Yes thats the job for clean up but if you look at films like 101 dalmations, they skipped that process with xeroxing and let the rough pencil work show through.
I believe they did it like that because they had not enough budget to pay for clean up animators. Movies like Robin Hood and 101 Dalmatians were made in the period between Walt Disney's death and The Little Mermaid, where the company's quality in films started to go down. I'm not saying that they were bad films, because actually films from that era are between my favorites. What I'm saying is that they had to work with such a tight budget that they decided to put less effort and care (and money) on backgrounds and things like clean up animators.
@@MarianaGarciaGrijalva I know this is old, but Walt Disney was still alive when 101 Dalmatians was released, which was in 1961. His death wasn't until late 1966.
@@MarianaGarciaGrijalva (I also know this is old and i apologize BUT) I might be wrong, but i imagine they didn't have the budget for clean up animators because it would have had to be so BIG. i haven't seen the movie but as someone getting into animation, the idea of doing all of those spots is a NIGHTMARE. it would have taken so long
Disney needs to make another traditionally animated film. I think we've waited long enough, the last time they released one was 12 years ago (Winnie the Pooh) and the last traditionally animated fairy tale was 15 years ago (The Princess and the Frog). The animation industry has been dominated by CGI for almost 25 years and that needs to change.
I totally agree. There is just something beautiful about traditional 2D animation. It was such a craft! The problem is it is also very expensive and time-consuming. Unfortunately, I don't think most studios would go back to that process. 😥
I wish some one would put on utube how all this is done from coloring too how its shot what kind of software they use give the fans a real close up how its done and yes bring back the 2d lol
BEAST: I thought I told you to come down to dinner! I demand you open this door immediately You'll come out or I'll dinner! PIG DRIVER: And I'm the Queen Mother! Be off with you! BEAST: You'll come out or I'll break down the door!
Most likely computer. The Little Mermaid was the last Disney 2D film to use cels. If you watch the ending of TLM, the scene where Tritan cast a rainbow over the ship, that scene was actually painted digitally. Since that scene worked and nobody noticed the difference all 2D films after that were painted digitally. Hope that helps. 🙂
I really love the way his voice sounds a lot less bestial when he says, "Will you come down to dinner?"

They put a filter on that line in the film. Listen and compare the two. There's a slight difference.
@@FrizFreddy1994 I highly doubt that's true. Do you have any proof that this is the case other than hearsay?

Precisely! Sometimes it's not themselves but other subjects but commonly it is themselves that are referenced.
Boy, I miss 2D animated movies.
Yeah :( I like cgi and 2d animated
Me too... 🙁
Same. 3D movies aren't bad, but computers are booooooring. Nothing beats hand drawn animation.
See Klaus on Netflix people!!!!! Is a new beautiful 2d animation. And just learn to search.
Good thing that since spiderverse studios are finally starting to get more experimental with styles
"But she is being so DIFFICULT!"
I love this movie with all my heart.
the scetches have more live than the final result

It’s more like 300-400 drawing actually
A lot of movies are animated on 2s because 1s would take too much time if it were throughout
So how does this work, after the rough animation does someone like just draw the fines lines on top of the roughs to create what we see in the movie?
