The Illusion of Life Disney Animation Chapter 2

The second chapter of the book goes into details about the early times of Disney; ranging from 1923 to 1933. Walt Disney was not even intending to continue making cartoons when he first came to Hollywood, but that changed when his money ran low and his name wasn't very large yet. Much was going to happen in this time, new animators, styles, and pieces of work would be made and would create Disney's legacy.
New ways to animate would be put into place during this time. Ripple action would now be in effect on parts of the animated characters so they would be flowing. Rubber hose animation would be experimented with, even though Disney himself did not think much of it and criticized it. Having the cartoon characters coming up towards the camera was becoming a popular technique during this time. When Walt Disney was working on cartoons again he was moving at an accelerated rate and made it so his workers would have to be hard at work if they would keep up with, but it is likely that methods such as this is what lead Disney to be the giant that it is today.

Despite it being a difficult time for animation, new techniques were being discovered and Disney would be moving at a faster rate. The industry would continue to grow and Disney’s name would become the most recognized name in animation. New ways to make cartoons were happening and new steps would be made in order to continue making them a success.
