Classic Cartoon Cels

Another Classic Animated tool that people used back then were called Animation Cels. Yes, back then they pretty much drew the characters, had paint to color them in and put it on the background in every single frame. How cool is that? I'll show you what it looks like. 

I'm willing to watch Fantasia (1940) this month. I seen a few clips and it looks massive.

Animation Cels have been around since well, animation has started to exist. 

Sometimes you would focus on one object/character at a time. One cel you have the seal, and the 2nd cel you have Mickey Mouse. Making both of those cels stick onto the background. I learned that from a video I recently watched. 

Cell 1 - Teacup

Cell 2 - Teapot (without handle)

Cell 3 - Handle for teapot

Cell 4 - Pink Panther

The cels that were used there were pretty much used when animation was considered going through a downfall in the 60s to 70s.

This is what people say is the worst animation ever by that time period and to my expense to the animation I don't mind it.

This had huge effort somehow.

Nice. These are characters from Wind Of The Willows (1949) my favorite Disney film.

You can tell that sometimes when you find cel animation online or whatever, there's a little bit of messy detail on the characters.

The old vintage camera is where it's at it when everything is ready to go and the animation starts to feel it's motion and prepares for what is behold on the movie screen, TV or whatever.

Throughout the 80s to 90s, cel animation was still used commonly with animators. However it came to a close when people were all over computers and modern era technology around the early 2000s. 

Behind the scenes, animation nowadays on the computer still has a pack of 2D films but also 3D to make it more realistic and vibrant. Its coming to an age where animation is a passion and involves in alot of different resources and genres, airing in movie theaters, now getting 100M-1B dollars at the box office with each and every animated film.

I had fun talking about this, since animation is literally striking again and having an audience far more than ever. I'm willing to animate in the future and making people happy. 

Hope you enjoy your day and I'll see you next time! Bye-a 👋
