smooth ice that forms on like a sidewalk is very, very slippery. Something like a river would generally have a more rough surface, unless it was already a very slow and still river - and the ice would be covered over with snow. About this time Disney was cutting back on the budgets for their animated features in favor of live action movies, so the studio came up with some cost cutting measures such as xeroxing the pencilwork onto the cels, which resulted in a very rough, stylized appearance, and also allowed animation to be reused repeatedly. Jungle Book, Robin Hood, and Aristocats in particular share a LOT of animation between each other. ( and are all extremely worth watching )
I have to admit, they all disappointed me. Not that an art student should not watch them, but, not Disney's best work. Especially the Jungle Book and Aristocrats. I feel the animated Jungle Book took one of the best kid's books ever, dumbed it down, and removed the magic, replacing a much better story with a very superficial, glib one. They did the same thing with Hunchback of Notre Dame. They were so far off the mark with that one, Victor Hugo's family sued. Other, live action versions of Jungle Book Disney has done were much more successful at capturing Kipling's amazing work. I've actually never seen a movie adaptation of Hunchback which was faithful to the book and the themes Victor Hugo wrote about so well. It's always the forced happy ending. Maybe someday. That's a MUCH deeper story than people realize. I LOVED the Aristocrats as a kid, but as an adult? I just saw some old, tired animators do a mish-mash of Lady and the Tramp, and 101 Dalmatians. Money in the bag, it's worked before, just trot out what we know, etc. It was great to see the studio have a comeback to superior scripts with Little Mermaid in the 80's. Disney has made some really amazing films, and some clinkers.
I like that Anita and Cruella are stated to have gone to collage together, because that means they're around the same age, and yet Cruella looks like an old woman. Cruella is so obsessed with her own appearance and yet she looks awful because she cares more about the clothes she wears then her own health, she cares about all the wrong things.
0:44 it’s called Xerox! I love it, it’s one of my favorite styles! Walt Disney hated it though, he thought it made it look sloppy. And at 7:56 your not hallucinating! Jock, Trusty, Lady, Tramp, Peg, and Bull all make brief cameos during the Twilight Bark! 9:14 I understood that reference!
I know that the fact the camera stopped recording is suppose to be a bad thing. But I think your draw, that is replacing the video, is so full of expression :D
They did use some of the character models from Lady and the Tramp. But in this movie, no dog breaks a leg. That is in Lady and the Tramp. Fox and the hound does have an injured dog. But that movie is just my depression come to life.
With this film Disney animators began using the Xerox process to transfer their drawings directly to the animation cels. This was easier than traditional inking, retained the pure quality of their original drawings, and also meant that everything would be outlined only in black, unlike earlier features. It may have seemed a less refined look but it was perfect for this film.
What I also appreciate about this film is that the cat realizes how fucked up the situation is and tries to help. Most films make cats the assholes who would be delighted to see a dog suffer.
It's sad that Walt didn't like the art in this movie. Probably cause he thought kids would like more bright and shiny colors. I loved this style, even as a kid. Are you familiar with the Wakfu/Dofus series? It's a French animated series made with an advanced version of flash. I definitely recommend it, especially the Dofus Book 1:Julith movie. It's beautiful! Also, please stick to the subtitles. The english dub is quite off-putting unfortunately.
Great reaction!! I appreciate you attention to detail. If you enjoyed this then you should watch my favorite movie, Aristocats. It's lowkey the cat version of this and the plot is similar with pet-napping and you will see a similar animation style it's an old classic too 😊😊😊😊💖🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Ice, years ago, was harvested from the Great Lakes, among other places, stored in ice houses, and sold to residents throughout the year for their "ice boxes", which was the precursor to refrigerators.
Wow. Let me tell you: I just watched all of your classic Disney reactions and your Wizard Of Oz reaction......and it's a loss for all of us that you didn't keep making these videos, you are an OUTSTANDING reactor, I learned so much from watching these videos. If you're still out there: thanks! PS: I saw some of your art on Instagram, that's fantastic as well!
The style is such a huge jump from Sleeping Beauty (where they even had to ink the lineart different colors on every single cell), and sadly, it didn't make back all that money when it came out. Hence why the movies that came out in the 60's and 70's used the whole Xerox process, they could skip the cost of inking altogether. In this movie, I think the style fits very well, but it does suck that they became limited with how much they could give each movie a personal style. Even though the movies were good, they looked very same-y.
…okay I’ve just been binge-watching Disney reactions and came across your channel by chance, but somehow in one 15 min video completely unrelated to most of my niche interests, you managed to reference two of my biggest niche interests. The first of which is Warriors. I hardly ever expect anyone outside of the fandom circle to know about the books, much less know who Mosskit is and how she died. It was an extremely pleasant surprise to hear you reference the series I love. :D The second is ice. I grew up ice skating, and while I’m no expert on the kind of naturally-formed ice you find in nature since I skate on indoor manmade rinks, I know enough to say that how slippery ice is very much depends on the texture of the ice. A freshly-cleaned sheet of ice in an ice rink, for example, is incredibly smooth and very slippery. But after a lot of skaters have been skating over the ice, carving into it with their blades over and over, the texture of the ice becomes rougher, a dusting of snow appears in some places where the carving of a blade into the ice kicked up tiny shards of ice that became snow, and the whole thing becomes much easier to walk on because of the extra grip that added texture allows. Dogs also have textured paw pads and claws, and I feel like that would help them grip the ice a bit easier. So it really depends on what the texture of the ice they’re walking on is like, how much snow is accumulating on top, and so on. But I can say that I saw a dog on the ice at an ice rink once, it was at the US figure skating championships when my mom and I went to watch, they had a lab called Benny on the ice with little custom-made doggy skates on his front paws and none on his back paws, and he was having a great time! :D It was the cutest thing ever. Anyway, I love your way of looking at the art style elements of animation, so I’m definitely gonna look at more of your videos. :D
A couple of the dogs in Lady and the Tramp makes cameos in this film, Jock (as you saw), Peg and Bull in the Pet Store window and Lady and Tramp in the last shot at the street before the wide shot of London.
The reason the line work is more sketchier in 101 Dalmatians (and later movies such as Sword in the Stone, The Jungle Book, up until The Fox and the Hound) is because they used the Xerox process, which meant that instead of tracing the animator's sketches on cells, they used a humongous copying machine to copy them directly on cells. One of the reasons for it was to cut costs since Sleeping Beauty was so expensive to make that in the original release, it didn't make back its money despite being loved by audiences and critics (it has done so since then through re-releases and VSH, DVD and Bluray releases, as well as Disney+ subscriptions) even if the look wasn't as clean as it used to in their older movies (that is until the renissiance period, The Little Mermaid was the last time Disney used the Xerox process and the last time they hand painted cells along with the pre-show of Epcot attraction Cranium Command for the now-defunct Wonders of Life pavellion) and more angular (which style was started to be used in Sleeping Beauty).
2:46 Damn! I NEVER realized that this character was a PAINTER! what the hell? I had the VHS of this film and watched this film my entire childhood. How the hell did I never notice this detail???
There's a reason Roger is rated so highly by women (as well as David from Lilo and Stitch)! He's a genuinely lovable, sweet guy with a good heart! I hate when people say girls prefer 'bad' boys.. 🙄
About the backgrounds and colors: I imagine you've already looked up the designer Walt Peregoy, whom we lost 2015. I remember working in the same studio in 1989, and being totally blown away by his work. He had, I believe, studied under Eyvind Earle (?), but developed a style all his own.
The still born puppy (which I assume it's Lucky, consindering he was lucky to survive) and Roger reviving it by rubbing its back to restart its heart, actually refers to author Dodie Smith's (who wrote the book the movie is based on) dog had puppies, one of them were still born but her husband managed to revive him the same way Roger does.
Loving these!!! Question: when I was a kid, certain animated movies disturbed me to the point that I have avoided watching them as an adult, but looking back, the content wasn’t necessarily scarier than others… as I’ve gotten older I wondered if it was something about the animation styles that scared me… any thoughts on this??? Examples of movies that scared me are Pinocchio, Fox and the Hound, and All Dog’s go to Heaven. I have since watched Pinocchio and yeah it’s still hella disturbing to me 🥲
Maybe the uncanny valley? It usually happens with things that are look more lifelike and almost too realistic, but I’m sure some people could have a lower threshold for experiencing it.
Pinocchio is a pretty disturbing story. When the boys turn into donkeys? Pretty darn disturbing. Keeping in mind, Disney watered down the original story. I'm not sure why kid's stories from about 1920 and before can be so incredibly dark, but apparently it was seen as good clean fun to read Pinocchio, or Hans Christian Anderson, or Alice in Wonderland... all of which are still freaky as hell. Spoiler alert, in the original story of the Little Mermaid, she dies alone.
This movie seemed to try to emulate the style of drawing that fashion designers use. An example would be Coco Chanel's fashion sketches. The line work is indeed different than that of Sleeping Beauty🤩!!!
I love this movie, and it's art style. The live action ones just cant compare imo (the dogs being unable to speak takes the focus off them, and if they spoke it would look ridiculous) Fun fact: In spanish this movie has the secondary title "Night of the cold noses" (La noche de las narices frías). Thank you for the reaction :)
You must live in a very warm place! Ice is extremely slippery especially if it's a frozen river. Even if you stood still on it you could slide. Snow that fluffy would be very dangerous to drive in too, especially at the climax with the sharp turn with no guide rail, technically everyone involved is lucky to be okay.
Roger generally gets rated very highly on "most attractive Disney characters" when they ask women
and?
smooth ice that forms on like a sidewalk is very, very slippery. Something like a river would generally have a more rough surface, unless it was already a very slow and still river - and the ice would be covered over with snow.

Yeah
This also meant the animator can see their drawing come to life without the inking department intervene .

What’s interesting is that Dodie Smith the author of 101 Dalmatians always wanted Disney to make a film based off her book.
They did use some of the character models from Lady and the Tramp. But in this movie, no dog breaks a leg. That is in Lady and the Tramp.
Fox and the hound does have an injured dog. But that movie is just my depression come to life.

The fact you mentioned moss kit?? That was unexpected
Rip moss kit you will be remembered in starclan 👁💧👄💧👁
THE MOSSKIT REFERENCE PLEASE 😭😭😭

I just have to say I see the fawn drawing in your background from Pans Labrynth. Just wanted to say out of respect
I'm loving your artwork of Pan in the background. :)

The Lady and the Tramp dogs cameo in Oliver and Company too.
It's amazing how different this is from Sleeping Beauty which was Walt's prior feature - but I love them both!
A couple of the dogs in Lady and the Tramp makes cameos in this film, Jock (as you saw), Peg and Bull in the Pet Store window and Lady and Tramp in the last shot at the street before the wide shot of London.
If all reactions were this level of quality, youtube would be a better place.

There was a Scotty and a bloodhound in Lady and the Tramp. Their names were Jock and Trusty. And Trusty is my favourite character in the film.
Oh good I wasn't going crazy! It's been so long since I've seen Lady and the Tramp, I'm surprised that I remembered that much.
@@CashmereWatches You could react to it in your channel!
11:06 You said it. That is terrifyingly nightmare induced.
for disney you will see characters make cameos in other shows so like in Oliver and Company you will see all of the dogs make guest appearances again
There's a reason Roger is rated so highly by women (as well as David from Lilo and Stitch)! He's a genuinely lovable, sweet guy with a good heart! I hate when people say girls prefer 'bad' boys.. 🙄
There was a broken leg, I believe, in Fox and the Hound.
Both Fox & the Hound & in Lady & the Tramp.
I love your reactions!!
also shoutout to artist who draw big part of London in the movie
About the backgrounds and colors: I imagine you've already looked up the designer Walt Peregoy, whom we lost 2015. I remember working in the same studio in 1989, and being totally blown away by his work. He had, I believe, studied under Eyvind Earle (?), but developed a style all his own.

If you're looking for some real Nightmare fuel check out the live action black and white adaptation of Alice in Wonderland from the 1933
The animation in this film reminds me of the cartoon artwork in a magazine, called the New Yorker,
This movie seemed to try to emulate the style of drawing that fashion designers use. An example would be Coco Chanel's fashion sketches. The line work is indeed different than that of Sleeping Beauty🤩!!!
I love this movie, and it's art style. The live action ones just cant compare imo (the dogs being unable to speak takes the focus off them, and if they spoke it would look ridiculous)

You definitely need to watch 101 dalmatians2 or 100 and 2 which I know I haven’t seen that one in forever as well
Yes, great danes are goofy giant babies-- until you hear them bark and realise these were bred for bears :D
that is the grossest smoke I've ever seen
i love cats too
11:11 to answer your question... 99 puppies plus pongo and perdita... 101 Dalmatians
edit: i just saw you finally realize it after a few minutes...
Lion King 1994 please 🙏🙏🙏
I'm not sure why but this movie always bored me as a kid. Meanwhile I could watch Bambi on repeat for days
I loved the art though
When I see Anitas outfit in her first scene it gives out a dark academia look to me
