Hours on Hours of Creating Cartoons (ft. Walt Disney)

When watching a cartoon, it is not the first thing you think of as to how each movement of the cartoon is made. Well, it is not as easy as it looks, especially for the cartoon industry that emerged early in time. This can be exemplified through the youtube videos of Walt Disney Cartoons that convey the amount of effort that needs to be put into creating cartoons. Not only do the characters have to be drawn and decided as what to look like but also these characters must be redrawn for every single movement that is chosen to be shown within the cartoon. So for even just a small clip of a cartoon a couple of pages for a character must be made to efficiently show the character's actions. Imagine how hard it must be to not only draw an individual character's actions but to also show this character interacting with other characters' movements.
For the dialogue within the picture, it must be paralleled with the characters' movements and their interactions with each other. So the entire motion picture must technically be completed planned and organized before the movements of the characters are drawn. "Several trial and error" must be done before the finishing piece is revised and ready to be initiated. It is also not just the sketch artists and script writers that are included in this but also composers who will be handling the music and sound effects along with editors who improve and modify the draft piece that was first written. The time that these talented people put into for the entertainment of other people is astonishing. I, myself, know I could not handle drawing the same character over and over for every movement made and then somehow incorporate other characters' drawn movements into the same setting.

I looked into more youtube videos of the development of Walt Disney Cartoons, especially more modern ones, and they were truly just as interesting and entertaining to watch compared to the black and white dictation of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". If you're interested, I am posting the video of the development of "Beauty and the Beast", one of the most well-know of Walt Disney's creations!
