Also included an exclusive introduction by Dilly himself. This version is the 20th Anniversary re-issue that screened in over 50 film festivals around the world.
Editing by William Hohauser, as well as the special animation in the introduction.
When you think about it, The Hunchback of Notre Dame is a true animated masterpiece from an animation standpoint. The amazing Disney team managed to turn what was supposed to be a hideous deformed hunchback into an endearing hero that we all rooted for. The songs I could have done without but it also had some truly beautiful dancing animation (in front of a HUGE crowds no less) making it an exceptional 2d animation masterpiece in my mind. Anyway, here’s 90 pieces of art from the film the Hunchback of Notre Dame! Enjoy!

I really do love this film and lately new bits of art keep cropping up, and I find it a shame that a giant company such as Warner Bros. can’t get it’s act together to make another animated film (and no Happy feet doesn’t count). Well today here’s a gallery of 100 pieces of art from Iron Giant! Enjoy!

“The Old New World” is an amazingly detailed photo-based animation project that brings alive turn of the century photos by photographer and animator Alexey Zakharov of Moscow, Russia. Zakharov found old photos of US cities from the early 1900s and brought them to life.
There are clearly some issues with the added animation such as at 1:47 where the man isn’t even holding the box in his hands. not sure how that got though but nevertheless if you don’t scrutinize too hand it’s a pretty cool little project!

Andreas Deja has an interesting post up about the animation process behind the scene above from Lady and the Tramp which while it was animated by Frank Thomas, both Milt Kahl and Iwao Takamoto went over the scene for ultimate drawing appeal. Iwao Takamoto if you remember was a very large part of Hanna Barbera’s style.

What really happens when possums play dead?
Oh, Possum! is an animated short about two bickering brothers and the secret world of “playing possum.”
We had an opossum living in a coffin next to our garage. Our landlord stored old halloween props back there, and it became a fitting home to that awkward creature who liked to “play dead.â€Â I began sketching possums and possum-related gags in a sketchbook, attempting to boil down what I enjoyed about them. I liked that they were misunderstood creatures. Mostly I was intrigued by their strange avoidance of trouble, a trick not unlike my own reaction to stress.
