What is hand drawn animation?
The slow process in hand drawn animation is to first create what the movie is going to look like. Once you have your idea finished, you draw it out step by step, like a giant flip book. Copyright Watterson 1990 This is called Cel-animation. Cel-animation is like a huge book of pages that barely have a noticeable difference from page to page. Cel-animation is about the longest animation process that there is! Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was done by Cel-animation. If you watch an older cartoon you will see the difference between some more recent cartoons. Old cartoons like “Tom and Jerry” look different than something more new such as “Mulan.” The colors are not as crisp and clear, and the pictures are rougher.
