This is a wonderful clip, hosted by Walt Disney, of four of the artists working in the animation dept. and their different visions; what talented men.

Man they sure don't make them like they used to. Walt was truly lucky to have the 9 old men and many other talented artists of their day.

That's exactly what struck me, just being reminded of the work, details, and skills that went into one feature. We're so used to computer enhancements in all our visual media now, it's awesome to see something like one animator applying each bit of fairy dust by hand or the enhancements added by someone like Eyvind Earle that bring a picture to life. I came away grren with envy. :mrgreen:
