How Has Walt Disney Made Used In Disney Films?

The first two Mickey shorts, Plane Crazy and The Gallopin’ Gaucho drew no attention. And it was a failure as it failed to impress the audience and the fact that Walt could not find a distributor to release the cartoon shorts. But then came Steamboat Willie, the first animation that featured synchronized music and sound effects. It was first released in New York on November 18, 1928 and was an instant hit.

Walt Disney Animation Studios is one of the largest animation film creators, as the first film was released in 1937, “Snow White.” These films develop numerous techniques, concepts, which are the traditional principles of the standard animation. Within the techniques are the structures of how to angle the shots to create a realistic movement of the animation. For example, in “Moana,” the scene where baby Moana is sitting listening to her grandmothers stories of their ancestors the shot is looking down at Moana, then zooms into her face to see the excitement in her eyes. The shot zooms back out to see the other children’s reactions, but the main focus was on

Hugo Macias English IV CP Mrs. Schlossberg January 24, 2017 Steamboat Willie On November 18, 1928 Walt Disney released an 8 minute animated cartoon called “Steamboat Willie” which starred the iconic Mickey Mouse. The cartoon starts off with Mickey Mouse piloting a river steamboat while whistling “Steamboat Bill” which became a very popular song after the cartoon aired. Then, “Pete” is introduced as the real captain of the boat and pushes Mickey off the wheel.

Even though the movies evolved over time, one thing stayed the same. Disney movies always have a sense of nature that is connected to the outside world in that time period. Disney did this to connect to every age group possible,

“The cartoon was considered the debut of Mickey, and his girlfriend Minnie.” (“Walt Disney”) Production for Steamboat Willie took place between July and September of 1928, and cost approximately $5,000. The release of Steamboat Willie caused thousands of people to line up at the Universal Colong Theatre in New York. The premiere date for the film was on November 18, 1928. Disney made about $500 a week from the release. “The success of Steamboat Willie not only led to international fame for Walt Disney but for Mickey as well.” (“Walt Disney”)

Although Snow White isn’t anything remarkable with today’s computer-generated graphics, the hand-drawn film was groundbreaking at the time. The high profit from Snow White inspired Disney to relocate and expand his studio in order to facilitate all of his animation needs (Wingert). This upcoming state-of-the-art studio would open up several new opportunities for the Disney Company.

According to biography.com, “On December 21, 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length animated film, premiered in Los Angeles. It produced an unimaginable $1.499 million, in spite of the Depression, and won a total of eight Oscars.” Walt Disney also held the patient for colored movies for two years making him the only one to create colored animated movies. Over the next couple of years, Walt Disney Studios made some other big movies you may have heard of. They are called, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, and Fantasia. However, in 1939, Disney bought a new campus for the workers but they didn’t like it and most of them resigned or went on strike. But just like always Walt refused to give up and by 1950 he was back making animated movies. Cinderella came out and was huge, and was followed by Treasure Island, Alice in Wonderland, Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan, 101 Dalmatians, and Sleeping Beauty. From the 1930s to the 1960s Walt Disney Studios made about 100 features (not all movies, some just short films before movies.) Mary Poppins was the next big movie because it mixed live action and

Before computers became universally used and accepted motion pictures were made using traditional animation. It was a process that most animated films were created with during the 20th century. Individual frames were typically photographs of drawings. In order to create the illusion of movement, animators created each frame slightly different than the one previous. This process was used to create the treasured classics Pinocchio.

When Disney created snow white everyone thought he was crazy but it became the first feature length animation. As well as the most loved movie and still is well loved. Disney expanded pass the movie screen to the T.V. screen. Disney took over T.V. screens everywhere. He became the

The animation movie in the 1950s, they came from the same source, the source is fairy tale. The main characters in that time were the same such as prince, princess, witch, devil, etc. The animation movie in the 1950s had many stories. In addition, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, Alice In Wonderland, etc. All of animation movies at that time were 2D animation. Furthermore, all the character in Disney animation had its own characteristic that we can recognize them.

Walt Disney’s cartoons were endless then. Technicolor was introduced to Walt’s company, Silly Symphonies Cartoon Features, and allowed Disney’s cartoons to be the only cartoons to have color in it. Disney created a cartoon called “Flowers and Trees” and that cartoon won Disney his first academy award. But there were still more academy awards to come to him.

Before Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, there was not any other full colored feature length cartoon before. To enhance and make the character creation of Snow White herself to appear more realistic to the viewer’s eyes, “the women of the ink and paint department applied real make-up to cels of Snow White, to give her a more rosy, life-like complexion”. (Oh My Disney) During the production of the film, “Walt Disney kept a variety of animals on the studio lot as a live reference for the animators”. (Oh My Disney) This demonstrates that Disney wanted to create a cartoon fairy tale come to life on screen as realistic as it could. Although live-action reference has not been commonly done before to such an extent, Walt Disney would use it in a great extent for his films. “Rotoscoping was popular at the time and Walt used it often. Most of the dancing scenes and all of Prince Charming's character movement were rotoscoped. The roto tracings were used as a guide for timing and positioning while the cartoon characters of different proportions were drawn to conform to those positions” (Imgur) The use of rotoscoping in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is very interesting particularly because of the aspect of having the live-action reference film and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs side by side showing the action taking place simultaneously.

In the last decades, the number of major corporations that manage to control media has decreased significantly, resulting in a high concentration of ownership. In 2011, only six media companies were responsible for 90% of the things we saw and heard on a daily basis compared to fifty companies in 1983 (Lutz, 2012). The Walt Disney Company is one of them. In this report, we will take a look at how the Company has succeeded in growing into the media corporation it is today.

Disney has moved well beyond its cartoon-oriented roots. Though the company is still involved the production of original feature films and other related media (and though the media network division of the Company is still the organization’s leading generator of revenue) the company has long since stopped being your typical “animation studio” or “film production company.”

company. The technology used to film and edit programming impacts the operations and distribution of the company’s original content. Within procurement’s 33% share of revenues, technology makes up the largest share as firms in this industry must invest to compete. The linkages here are vertical; without the newest technologies, it takes longer to produce and edit new series to the standard customers expect. If Disney’s technologies fail to deliver visually high-quality content in a timely manner, consumers will watch elsewhere.
