Day 60 - Disney California

Animation Academy

Where they teach you how to draw pictures for animation. R with his picture of Cheshire Cat.

Character Close Up

---

What you are seeing is a zoetrope with sculpted images of various cartoon characters in different states of motion. One single movement that we see is divided into several parts..movements made every fraction of a second. When these are seen in fast motion our eyes put them together to see the parts as one continuous movement...the basis of animation.

Again a place showcasing the principles of animation and toy gadgets based on them and how animated images were created in the past.
