    It is weird to rewatch classic cartoons and think about the individual animator. The amount of work poured into these scenes is mind boggling.

      Yeah, it's confusing for me just to think about how a single animator can do a scene under the supervision of several different ones. For example, in 4:21 Ichabod was supervised by John Lounsberry, Katrina by Marc Davis, and Brom by Milt Kahl, and Frank Thomas had to put them all together? How?? Did they each animate their characters separately and roughhandly and had Frank sketch on top of one another before having them finalized? Did each animator supervise Frank animating the scene and instruct him on how to animate their characters correctly? I don't know how such a convoluted process creates such beautiful results.

      This will never happen. Money drives capitalism and since the live action remakes make millions, if not billions of dollars, there is no chance that Disney would switch back, no matter how ugly or non-sensical these new movies are.

      @@rismosch You make a good point, but while The Walt Disney Company has certainly garnered a reputation for being money-hungry, its identity is built on the willingness and passion required to go above-and-beyond in quality. All the little details showcased in this video and the others couldn't have been added simply to rake in more cash. They came from a spirit of perfectionism and a love for the medium. These qualities are what make Disney stand out, and are reflected not only in their films, but their parks, resorts, etc. Just take a look at the work put into Disneyland's horticulture. The corporate end forgets what makes them special and sell out from time to time, and it's always a sad thing to see. The sequels to many of their classics come to mind. Thankfully, most of those were straight-to-video affairs. I can't think of a time when they've cheapened themselves so publically and on such a large scale, so this time around, it's sadder than ever.

      It's smooth and lively, but also there are just enough frames to not make it too much. I'm assuming many were using actual human/animal movement as reference to better the immersion. I'm a big fan of how it all moves.
      James Baxter did some great stuff, and made it all really vibrant and full of wonder, while Thomas created these sorta cozy realistic vibes. Love it!!

      I agree. You can also tell which Tramp is Frank's and which is Milt's. The characters look like they have weight to them in Frank's, but are still light. Milt had a very realistic movement to his drawings (Tramp shaking off water) It's not here, but I can already tell that Frank did Tramp laughing on his back because of the weight he put in Tramp's feet when they hit the ground. I look at that and, while I know it's animated, it looks like a real dog moving. You hit it on the head, it definitely feels natural.

    I think if someone were to put the animation for, say, the Queen of Hearts, Merlin, and Captain Hook side-by-side, it'd be quite clear they were the same animator. You really see a lot of the same movements and mannerisms between them. Maybe it's just because all three have frequent angry outbursts.

    He certainly knows how to handle emotions well enough for the characters: happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, anguish, etc. Even physical movement was unique to see for the animals he's animated, from the bear in The Pointer to Burrito in the Flying Gauchito segment in Three Caballeros.

    Damn, I miss cartoons being fully animated and characters drawn with an organic shape and life-like detail.
    In this new millennium, animation studios have gotten cheap and their animators lazy, and cartoon aesthetics now are just crude chicken scratches. It all culminates to the sounding message _"We don't give a shit; take our crap and give us our money"._

    I really like the work on Captain Hook. He seems uprisingly realistic and detailed for what you would think would be a very cartoony and wildly animated character, yet he loses none of the expressiveness, in the proess. Verry different from most of the other examples.

    it's incredible to see how much he utilises the character's entire body for expressions, and how much subtlety there is to the faces in particular. It feels so natural and it's honestly something I'd love to be able to achieve in my own work. Also I love the scene at 4:08, idk something about the level of liveliness and movement on Pinocchio even though the cage is moving so much is really cool

    Incredibly talented and dedicated. This is some quality stuff that will probably never be made anymore. Personally the softness doesn’t appeal to me I prefer a more aggressive, rigid, (still fluid) but different approach to animation. But I can’t stop watching this. It’s incredibly addicting.
