The Production of Animated Cartoons

William Garity

This paper describes the general procedure employed in producing animated cartoons, particularly the technic employed by the Walt Disney Studios. The qualities required in the animators, and the problems that these animators must solve in realizing the dramatic situations and synchronizing them with the music and sound effects are discussed. An example of the procedure followed in producing the cartoon is given, including illustrations of the layout sheet, exposure sheet, and camera field charts.
