How Walt Disney Cartoons are made

disney doesn't hire ugly girls...

Are the fellas not pretty then?

I liked the part with the "hundreds of pretty girls..."

This is very interesting for a couple reasons. The first and obvious one being that it showed what went on behind the scenes at Disney, but also as a cultural piece. I couldn't imagine any news report about an animation inking department starting out with, "Here, hundreds of pretty girls..."

Hannah Montanna = Snow White of the Paris Hilton generation

"Where MORE pretty girls..." lol

With stuff Disney is bring out now like Hannah Montana, High School Musical, Camp Rock etc Walt Disney must be turning in his grave. What ever happened to the great movies that had alot of time and effort put into them. None of these new movies have the magic of disney in them at all.

Agreed. It really makes you wonder where Disney lost track of the "art" of their product.

thank you! :D

At the time, most of the ink and painters were women, and it continued to be that way in the industry for decades, perhaps until the introduction of the CAPS digital ink and paint system. I think the reason for this was the percieved delicacy they put into the tracing of the cels and the painting of the characters.
