Disney talks about early animation in 1938


 What could animation feature do after 1938?
- By 1938 animated cartoons had improved to a point were audience interest could be sustained for more than 6 or 7 minutes. So the cartoon feature could be a possibility. Snow white is an example of a feature length cartoon/film.

What does he say if the primary purpose of animation?
 -Fantasia: This type of cartoon did not rely upon telling a story, but rather to tempted to create an emotional response in the audience by combining form, colour and motion to interpret fine music

What does he say combine to create this effect?
 -  The cartoons combine together form, colour and motion to interpret fine music and to create an emotional response towards the audience.

Explain how they made the film images using paint brushes, what effects were created?
 - Every effort was made to retain the fragile character in the inspirational sketches. Most of which were rendered in pastels and chalks. In adapting the production it became apparent that the usual hard ink lines and flat opaque areas of colour could not do them justice. To retain the authorial quality transparent paint were developed. The reproduce the pastel affect a dry brush technique was used. In this technique the brushes wiped almost dry of paint before application, leaving a grainy, chalk like texture on the cellulites.

 He later says that the drawings and art are only half of a successful animation, what does he say on the other half?
 -The equally important other half is the music.
