MAKING CARTOONS IN 1938

This short doc from 1938 shows us the unbelievably intricate, detailed and tedious process used in crafting an animated picture in the era before Hanna-Barbara ruined animation with their cheap, non-moving backrounds and unrealistic body motions. ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ is the subject at hand and I can’t begin to imagine how this process was created, developed and executed with such patience and skill. Give it a watch. You’ll never look at Bugs Bunny in the same way again. I say Bugs instead of Snow White since I am firmly a Looney Tunes man, eschewing all things Disney except for this exceptional little behind-the-scenes look at the way cartoon-making was once practiced.
