trees

I selected some trees from all different DISNEY feature films to show the incredible style variety coming just from one studio, over a period of about twenty years. the films are – SALUDOS AMIGOS ( aquarela do brasil ), BAMBI, SLEEPING BEAUTY, PETER PAN, MAKE MINE MUSIC ( peter and the wolf ), PAUL BUNYAN, 101 DALMATIANS, ALICE IN WONDERLAND. hopefully one day I can find such a variety in our depressing CG-era.

A very interseting post. People talk so casually about ‘Disney style’ it’s easy to over look the richness and variety there.

Very poignant post, Hans. Is there a studio today willing to nurture such stylistic variety? My hope is that 2D animation and this kind of experimentation make a resurgence in my lifetime.

I think there are some people that still have courage to play with such different styles. The problem is that the media only accepts what’s hype (vector art, manga, etc.).

I know that as a student, we are fed the idea that realism and the ability to create photo-realistic art is the mark of true talent, and I know that many at my school spend too much time copying what’s already there as opposed to exploring bolder and newer styles. Even I myself am afraid try new styles. This post is inspiring though =)

i have never heard about a school that is teaching this kind of nonsense.
copying reality is not ART. creativity means something very different. you
should start a serious discussion with your teachers…

First time reader – first time poster.

Do you recall a Disney TV special in which 4 of their artists (I think Marc Davis was one) painted the same tree? The results were spectacular (and different as you might imagaine). I watched this show a couple years ago late late late a night. Don’t recall the name, but with a little Googling I could probably find it. Those 4 paintings would be something to have.

from hans -
that is ‘FOUR ARTISTS PAINT A TREE’. you find it on one of the disney treasures DVD’s.
