The Illusion of Life Disney Animation Chapter 1

Walt Disney Once said that “Animation can explain whatever the mind can conceive,” and I do believe that to be true. Animation has grown large over the long period of time it has been around from simple black and white pieces to 3D animation with full color. One of the many things that make animation so admirable for me is how much work is put into it. There are many steps into making animation from the creation of the characters, timing everything correctly, and being able to successfully project the animation.

            The possibilities for animation are endless. What gives it so many possibilities is the fact that you can have the characters and world of a piece of animation do whatever you please. Characters in animation can do anything from the way their faces and bodies move, to whatever they are able to pull out from behind them. The worlds in these pieces of animation have also grown from simple black and white pencil drawings, to fully colored and explored world that have been both bright and colorful and dark and gloomy. The hard work and dedication of the early animators of Disney made all of these possibilities happen.

            Much can be explored in this colorful field, and there is probably much more out there that hasn't been fully realized. Disney still remains one of the largest; if not the largest name in animation history. There are still animators out there who are pushing new boundaries, and showcasing how far animation has over the years.
