Animators React 10: The Lion King, Mulan, VeggieTales

[@caret_shell]

7:07 "Well, fortunately the cleanup people, they refine it even more. My drawings probably looked pretty stinky, and then they would clean it up and kind of improve it, so... that's why it's a group effort." Always nice to see an artist praising the team effort and trying to give full credit to everyone who isn't on the couch with him. That makes him a much better storyteller, since we worry less about it being self-aggrandizing.

[@booster247]

I am constantly amazed at the level of guests you manage to get on your show. You guys are bringing in some of the best in the industry and they all want to come back for more. It is truly incredible how this little 'thing' you guys started so many years ago has snowballed into one of the premier shows for animators and artists to not only showcase their work, but teach the masses as well.I don't know if you at Corridor have ever sat back and thought to yourselves, "Man, this just keeps getting better and better. How did we pull this off?" But you did pull it off, and we are all so glad you did. Thank you for your amazing content and please keep it coming.

14:00 Dude, the shot of Esther taking her crown off is one of my earliest film memories. Something about the invisible arms just made me think about it a lot as a kid and it stuck with me all the way to adulthood. I flipped when he mentioned it, cause it was like he dug straight into my mind from my preschool years.

I had the pleasure of animating at Big Idea (on a mix of 3-2-1 Penguins! and VeggieTales projects) when Tom was there. He's such an awesome guy, and I'm so glad that you were able to get him on the couch for one of these episodes, and also glad that VeggieTales finally made it into the discussion. Here's hoping that Tom can come back for more!

Whenever Wren is not in a video, I begin to anticipate which of his limbs will be in a cast the next time we see him on camera. Edit: Tom also highlighted something I always found interesting in those 90s Disney movies, in that the title character usually wasn’t the most memorable character of the film. From The Genie, to Sebastian, to Mushu, the title character almost became the supporting cast member to their antics.

[@amandasnider2644]

I grew up on VEGGIETALES. When our family traveled we kids would ask "How many more veggietales is it?" Our concept of time was measured by veggietales length....half an hour. The Jonah movie was the first film I ever saw in "theatres". It technically wasn't a theater, it was in a large church in the city but kid me didn't know the difference. We have family videos of us kids and veggietales playing on the tv. Buzzsaw Louie is one of our traditional Christmas films to watch each year. My Dad likes to imitate veggietales character voices for fun. I used to try to draw my friends as veggietales style characters. My parents had custom songs for each of their 4 children and my brother Daniel got the song "Fear not Daniel" from Daniel and the Lions Den. I find myself singing veggietales songs all the time. One of my favorite films was the Ester veggietales film as a young girl. I was fascinated by the biblical story. Veggietales was a big part of my life growing up and when I have kids of my own or when I babysit my little nephew I will play the videos for them.

The sheer fact that they have to draw every single little motion to turn it into one big movement, facial expressions, backgrounds, thinking about what goes into a action scene let alone just a simple walking scene like when I think of the sheer magnitude of that I can’t imagine how draining or repetitive it might be as well and then hoping that the project you’re working on will be a hit and not a miss….these people are truly a different breed 🫡

[@TheRibottoStudios]

"We were all cast to that one character." That's why in traditionally animated movies, in the credits, you'll see quite a few people under a certain character, it's not just the actor, but an entire TEAM of people bringing that character to life. One thing I love about the Lion King, is the use of shadows to convey a threat, as well as the camerawork and editing was amazing. The use of color in the movie in general was amazing, but in particular the shadows were great. This is done before the stampede, when we first see Scar he's in the shadow of Pride Rock. Then in the stampede scene in particular, the use of shadow is done very well to showcase evil triumph over good; the way Scar's shadow just slowly engulfs Mufasa was incredible then to zero it in on the eyes constricting in sheer terror and realization, and I love how the shadow over Mufasa's face highlight his eyes...but it isn't just the animators bringing the scene to life, it's people who do lighting, sound, and camerawork too. The use of extreme close ups, to Mufasa's eyes, and their paws to show the precarious situation, the slight smirk Scar does before uttering "Long live the king" was a nice animation touch, and of course going back to the paws as he throws Mufasa off, then cut to Mufasa falling roaring in rage as he does, something I noticed was that the camera doesn't stop moving, it follows Mufasa in speed as he falls, and then zooms right out of Simba's eye to convey that sense of helplessness and terror of someone falling and you being helpless in watching it happen. They use dust as well to cover the characters in darkness; the scene took place during the day, but because of all the dust thrown up by the herd, you completely forget. MEANWHILE IN THE LIVE ACTION ONE IT'S JUST ALL IN BROAD FCKING DAYLIGHT, NO PROPER SHADOW PLACEMENT, THE CAMERA AND EDITING WORK IS DISGUSTING, LIKE THE REASON WHY THEY HAVE IT FADE TO BLACK ISN'T JUST SO WE DON'T HAVE TO SEE MUFASA LAND IT'S TO SHOW THAT THIS MOMENT IS IMPRINTED INTO SIMBA'S MIND, THAT'S WHY IT GOES FROM BLACK TO THE FAST ZOOM OUT OF HIS FACE BUT IN THE REMAKE THEY JUST HARD TO CUT SIMBA YELLING LIKE THAT CAT IN THE MEOW MIX COMMERCIAL AND WHERE ARE THE SHADOWS, WHY IS EVERYTHING AT A MEDIUM FREAKING SHOT WHERE IS THE CAMERA LANGAUGE WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT USING CAMERAWORK AND BODY LANGUAGE TO CONVEY EMOTION JOOOOON.

The "live action" Lion king was technically very impressive, but absolutely soulless, I was so disappointed by it, it was a straight up copy paste. I really enjoyed the Jungle book in "live action", idk if it was because I didn't know the animated one as well as I know Lion king, though.

[@Condor_]

I'm sure it wasn't worth pointing out during the recording, but I found it interesting that Tom said that CG animation always has the smoothing between frames that you can't avoid. That was true at one point, but it hasn't been for a while. It's easy to lock in frames in 3D software nowadays so that there is no movement calculation (or smoothing) between frames. It's even showing more often in CG movies as of late such as "The Bad Guys" and "Puss In Boots: The Last Wish". Both by Dreamworks, which really seem to like playing with this concept as of late. A video covering the latter would be awesome. The style in that movie is incredible! This was awesome to watch as always. Seeing Veggietales was a huge surprise and honestly I would love to see another animator from that studio come on to talk about the early days of their CG just because of how groundbreaking it was.

[@tiagotiagot]

Don't forget Spiderverse

[@tiagotiagot]

Oh, and even back when you couldn't select what type of tweening you want, in many apps you could still simply manually duplicate the previous keyframe right before the new one, and leave no time for smoothing. Lots of the limitations people attribute to 3D are actually just due to lack of creativity (or time to manually produce the result instead of relying on pre-packaged effects).

[@mattsully2238]

Veggie tales style reminds me of early pixel art in video games. Often not a ton of actual animation but your mind easily fills in the blanks.

I grew up on VeggieTales. That scene with the crown immediately stuck out to me - even as a kid. Before the Esther movie, there had been very little "hand" movement of props by the vegetables. That crown scene in Esther just took the entire idea to a whole new world. I distinctly remember the first time I watched it. The animation took me out of the moment, but my mind almost immediately realized that the crown movements were correct and I was brought back in just a fraction of a second later. Huge props for that scene. It blew me away at like 10 years old.

[@noahisaway5815]

Great video! Was really cool to hear about Tom's experience working with disney and his work with Veggie Tales (I watched so many of those movies growing up).

The thing about this show I find so fascinating is how much they treated the characters exactly as wooden marionettes.

And they achieved a lot of expressiveness this way while everyone else was squashing their models around at varying levels of proficiency.

So so lucky to know this guy because he's a professor at my school! He is always very encouraging and so easy to talk to!

My family had that Dick Tracy movie on VHS and that Roger Rabbit short is one of my earliest memories.

Man, he worked on my favorite films. I had all the behind the scenes material for Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. And the collectors CD set for them. I remember seeing the beast as a toy in Aladdin.

I love it when underrated 2D Disney films like 'Brother Bear' or one of my absolute favourite 'Treasure Planet' gets talked about in a huge channel like Corridor on KZbin. It really gives these gems the amount of appreciation that they never really got.
