The process of making animated films has also evolved over the years.
In traditional hand-drawn animation, character designers produce model sheets to finalize each characters appearance and how they move.
In computer animation, 3D animators create virtual skeletons with a series of key movements using digital software.
In computer animation, computer programs then handle movements between these core moves.
During the 1940s, this department was primarily staffed by young women.
Disney animation has undergone a few shifts in style over the years.
The most obvious was the shift to 3D CGI.
They put this to real effect in the ballroom scene 1991sBeauty and the Beast.
The ballroom was the first entirely computer generated environment, with only the characters being hand-drawn.
This was done so that the camera could swirl around them as they danced.
For example,The Black Cauldrondid not include any songs at all.
Those voices also include, likeThe Lion King, both actors and singers.
Storytelling
Music alone is not what makes a movie a success though.
The thing that matters most of all is the storytelling.
The main dividing factor between these eras, though, is the story-telling.
And all of it comes back to a commitment to showcasing interesting and exciting characters.
No one wants two-dimensional animation anymore, so make everything CGI!
Everyone wants cinematic universes and sequels, make lots of them!
No one wants cinematic universes and sequels, dont make any!
These solutions may seem easy, but they are not the real solutions.
The one overriding thing that brings people back to Disney animated classics over and over again is the storytelling.
Its what separates the Bronze Age from the Golden, the Experimental Age from the Revival.
Tell good stories, and the people will continue to come for another hundred years and more.
