Ren and Stimpy creator John K breaks down What Disney Did Best. Watch the 9 minute short first and then read through.
"I like the look of this transitional period of Disney's. It's between the pure rubber hose cartoons of the early 30s and the feature style that eventually abandoned early cartoon sensibility altogether. Disney was still taking advantage of cartoony motion in this period. The design of the characters was changing slightly to accommodate the new techniques of motion that the animators were discovering."
"The Disney star cartoons of the mid 30s have a really nice blend of graphic design with cartoony and fluid movement. It makes them appealing despite the fact that the ideas are so inane. Here's Pete doing a gag that might work in live action comedy if it was performed by funny comedians. Laurel and Hardy or the 3 Stooges could pull it off. Here, it just plays flat because the characters and the timing don't add anything to the mere fact of the action."
