How Cartoons Are Made: Inside Animation | Simon Townsend's Wonder World (1986)

Reporter Philip Tanner goes inside an animation studio to show how cartoons are really made. A single feature can take up to a million separate hand-drawn pictures and three years to complete, because every one second on screen needs 24 different drawings. Animator Don, 22 years in the game, walks through the whole process: the idea, the storyboard, the light box and peg bars, painting the cels with ordinary household paint, and the special animation camera that shoots a single frame at a time. Recorded on 4 March 1986 and first broadcast on 24 March 1986 on Network Ten. Restored from the original 1-inch broadcast tape. Full episode guide: https://simontownsendjournalist.com/a...
