Marc, this is solid stuff. As an animator, I especially appreciated your in-depth analysis of the animators' choices on timing and spacing regarding body mechanics, and how poses were designed to reveal character. I hope this is the first of a series of such breakdowns. I wouldn't worry too much about your vocal delivery. The content was sufficient to keep me in rapt attention.
Thank you for shedding light on what I consider the greatest animated film of all time. While this film is certainly lacking in such great detail like the previous films before it and the one after it, I believe it makes up for what is really important to this film. CHARACTER ANIMATION. The great animations of Art Babbit, Ward Kimball, and my favorite of them, Vladimir Tytla, really help give such great personality to each and every character in this film that you forgive it for less detail. The playful and very child-like movements and mannerisms of Dumbo, the very stern, but flexible movements of the Stork and of course, the fun, energetic, and smooth dance moves of the Crows are flawlessly executed in this film and really tell you a lot about the character.
The Background Music seems to be louder than your voice so it's kinda hard to hear you at times, but other than that this was great! I always hear this stuff when I try to learn about animation, but it's nice to see it in practice :)
this is fantastic I hope you keep making these for a long time to come. you explain things I've read about but have never been able to understand until now
I could watch hours of this! I suspect you'll progress the more you do them naturally, but no real feedback that hasn't been mentioned already. I love the clear sections of animation, design, etc. Thanks for this and looking forward to more :)
I think this was fascinating. I came here looking for info on dope sheets. Ignore the critics you see here on your style. I found it engaging. Thanks for the effort!
I don't know if you've made a video on it already, but I'd love to see a color chart like the one you used here on "Bambi." Love it like I do or not, that movie has some amazing use of colors to create heightened reality and mood without dialogue -part of the reason I call it a "moving painting."
I should have also recommended an analysis of Disney's 'Robin Hood' especially for the multitude of walk/run cycles, although there is a lot of other fun stuff to be found there too. But any animated analysis you run through I'm sure I'll enjoy.
just found out about these videos, theyre fantastically interesting and informative!! keep up your great work and i hope to see more of these sometime soon!
I’m a real fan of animation and am currently making a portfolio of my art. I mainly wanna work on character design, and draw fictional creatures, anthropomorphic animals, beasts that are both existing, extinct or mythological. I think the films that inspired me to wanna do animation are films such as Dumbo, both two Fantasia films, the Road to El Dorado, the Hunchback of Notre Dame and Princess and the Frog.
Great video please do more! Same notes as the others on the sound quality, a bit loud on the music and a less echoing room would be good. But your voice is great, I was able to totally hear and understand you. How did you do the color breakdown? Please continue to do more this was so insightful for an aspiring animator! Thank You!
I sincerely hope you do more of these in the future! If I may make a request, could you please breakdown Sword and the Stone (1963), particularly when Merlin is using magic to wash the dishes? Also, I'd recommend any episode of Tom & Jerry from 1940-1960 (the 1970s lost some of the magic in animation, in my opinion).
Very nice. :) One thing I find interesting, is the difference of spacing from Japanese animation on 3's to "disney" animation on 2's. Maybe you could tie that in to a video somehow.

incredible video. one of the best animation analysis breakdowns I've ever seen

Great video Mark! I'd watch more if you make more. Thanks for doing it. I particularly like the part about the design.

Great analysis, Thanks for putting this together. It's really helpful to see all of the elements you highlighted

High quality analysis! I need to spend more time framing through films I like :)

A fantastic course in composition. Thank you!
Dope video! keep making them.

I really enjoyed that! A very thorough and useful analysis. Thanks!
Fantastic analysis, thank you for the breakdown!
LOVE your videos, thanks so much
What's the background music that starts at 0:52?
Very informative and technical. Nice job! :D
Really enjoyed this!

wow really good analysis

this is amazing!
That was a cool video! You're planning on doing more, right?
Maybe you could do one of the 50's films, like Alice in Wonderland or Peter Pan?
Mark, how did you do the color bars for the entire movie? That was really interesting.
Could you do one of these for the Fleischer Superman cartoons ?
thank you very much
really interesting video thank you very much! :)
Do every Disney animated movie.
I miss all the hand draw Disney classes, now they do cgi
