  • "What's wrong down there Allen?"

    "I was moving it in the wrong direction Dave. I'm taking it back now. How's that?"

    ROFL

  • Absolutely amazing. Wish we had these bright minds today. Remake, remake, remake is getting old and extremelly boring. Hollywood hasn't had an original thought for decades.  What great contributions Walt Disney made!

  • OMFG that's amazing

  • I will not see these old cartoons the same way anymore. This stuff is really great.

  • I think the most notable aspect of this mini-documentary is the amount of work that went into it. We've got tons of animation created specifically for the purpose of explaining its concepts, excellent narration by Walt Disney himself, and a stylish soundtrack that accompanies all of it.

    Now THAT'S how you make a behind-the-scenes documentary.

  • thats just Toon Boom Studio. LoL with it's camera and layers moving back and forth XD

  • Art challenge technology, technology inspire art.

    Until now the concept of " layer" still using in photoshop/After effect/Flash ...

  • @CaptainCretaceous91

    I remember watching one Family Guy episode commentary, in which they take notice how they're using multiplane camera in one particular scene. Usually many of the shows today use CGI for depth-requiring scenes.

  • @Vuusteri Rarely used?! :( I think the multiplane camera shoud be tradition!

  • This was a very slow, complex and high-costing method. The workers would work around the clock moving the heavy glasses until the scene was done - and approved by Walt. Any studio would go bankrupt today, if using multiplane camera. Luckily ToonBoom and alike have such feature, but it's still rarely used.
