I love animation history and one of the things that always baffled me was how did animators draw the cars in 101 Dalmatians before the advent of computer graphics?

Any rigid solid object is extremely challenging for 2D artists to animate because if one stray line isn’t kept perfectly in check, the object will seem to wobble and shift unnaturally.

Even as early as the mid 80’s Disney was using a technique where they would animate a 3D object and then apply a 2D filter to it. This practice could be applied to any solid object a character interacts with: from lanterns a character is holding, to a book (like in Atlantis), or in the most extreme cases Cybernetic parts (like in Treasure Planet).

But 101 Dalmatians was made WAY before the advent of this technology. So how did they do the Cruella car chase sequence at the end of the film?

The answer is so simple I don’t know why it didn’t occur to me sooner:

They just BUILT the models and painted them white with black outlines 🤣

That was the trick. They’re not actually 2D animated, they’re stop motion. They were physical models painted white and filmed on a white background. The black outlines become the lineart lines and they just xeroxed the frame onto an animation cel and painted it like any other 2D animated frame.

That’s how they did it! Isn’t that amazing? It’s such a simple low tech solution but it looks so cool in the final product.

It really might happen this year. I have a feeling.

Look I hope everybody has lesbian sex and gets their license and moves out and whatever but this post is about one thing only and you guys are diluting its power. No offense I hope that all happens but this post needs to be aimed at one point and it can’t move.

[ID: A black and white image of two people, a masculine-presenting person being hugged from behind by a feminine-presenting person. They are framed by the name Les Nichols. End ID]ALT
[ID: A black and white image of a quote that reads “He’s wild. He has a cock and a pussy– both. Very wild. He’s the kinkiest lover I’ve ever met and also one of the sexiest.” Underneath, the quote is credited as “Annie Sprinkle on her ex-lover, les nichols.” End ID]ALT
[ID: A black and white picture of a nude, masculine presenting white trans person, sitting across the ground with one knee up, arm resting across his knee. He is looking down to the right of the page. Surrounding him is a quote that reads “My personal body aesthetic is to be without breasts and to have large pectoral muscles.” End text. Underneath, in small typerwriter font, it reads: “Manx is a ftm transsexual who has had a bilateral mastectomy. His sister is a male to female transsexual.” End ID]ALT
[ID: A black and white image of a round, simple-drawn eye with a quote written around it in a swirl. The quote reads: “I think we’re all androgynous. We all have the ability to express duality. I don’t feel like a man. I have masculine aspects. I also have feminine aspects. I don’t disown any of it.” At the top of the page, next to the quote, “Manx” is written to show that the quote is credited to him. End ID]ALT
[ID: A black and white image of bold, 3D text that reads: “What matters is to be allowed to do what one needs to do.” End text. This is also credited to Manx. At the bottom of the image, in much smaller writing, it reads: “A sex change can cost ten to a hundred thousand pounds.” End ID]ALT
[ID: A black and white image of a before and after picture of a trans man. The before photo shows a masculine presenting white person with short straight hair, but altogether younger-looking features. The after photo shows the same person, older looking with more masculine features such as thicker eyebrows and steonger jawline, wearing a suit and tie. They are smiling in both photos. Above them, the name “Mickey Larson” is written and in between the photos there is a quote from them that reads: “I used to be a constant confrontation. Now I can put my energy into other things.” End text. Underneath the pictures, there is another quote from them that reads: “I’d look in the mirror and feel that my body did not match my self-image. People weren’t perceiving me as a butch dyke, they were perceiving me as male and I was having dissociation from my body. I was heading for a psychic rift. That’s gender dysphoria.” End ID]ALT
[ID: Text that reads: “Mickey had the full ftm sex change.” There is an asterisk next to ftm and at the very bottom of the page, “female to male” is written as clarification. In the middle of the page, there is a quote written in the shape of a penis that reads: “I have a real cock. But if you’re going to be a size queen there’s nothing I can do about it.” End text. On either side of the penis, there are two more quotes (written normally), the first of which reads: “I’ve seen women that react to guys that come on like they’re jerks. I don’t want to be perceived that way… so I’m paralysed.” End text. The second one reads: “I’m glad it was hard to do, because I wanted to know for sure.” End ID]ALT
[ID: A black and white image of two, nude women having sex. One woman is eating out the other woman. The text around the image reads: “When is a dyke not a dyke?” End text. In the right hand corner, in smaller writing, it reads: “What is it about your lover that defines your sexuality?” End text. There is a speech bubble coming from the woman being eaten out, with the words “Would you still want me if I became a man?” written inside it. End ID.]ALT
[ID: Various quotes are dotted around the page, all of differing sizes. From left to right, the first quote reads: “A lesbian loves her woman-ness and loves women who love women while a female to male transsexual feels like an alien in a womans body and longs to be a hetereosexual male.” End text. This quote is not credited. The second quote reads: “It’s my genitals that are dishonest. The truth is that I’m a man. I’m not gonna tell my lovers that I’m a woman because I’m not.” End text. This quote is credited as John A. Above the third quote, on the right hand side, reads: “Approx 50% of ftms lived previously as lesbians.” End text. The third quote, just below this, then reads: “We came from the lesbian community and we support lesbian and gay issues even though we identify as heterosexual men.” End text. This quote is credited as Mickey L (presumably Mickey Larson). The final quote, written across the bottom of the page, reads: “We are a bridge. We are shamen. We are the transformation people— the people who see both sides.” End text. This quote is credited as John. End ID]ALT
[ID: A flow chart of the transition process for trans men, titled: “FtM process according to Harry Benjamin standards of care, U.S.A 1979” End text. On the middle right side of the page, enclosed within a circle, are the words: “female FTM to male”. At the top of the page, the flow chart begins. It starts with the words “rigorous psychological evaluations” with an arrow pointing right and another arrow pointing downwards. The arrow to the right leads to the word “rejected”. The downwards arrow, labelled accepted, leads to the next step: “Live exclusively as a man for at least two years.” End text. Underneath, in brackets, it reads: “if haven’t already.” Another arrow leading downwards and to the right points at the third step: “Hormones every 2/3 weeks for 2 years.” End text. An arrow pointing down and to the left of the page leads to the words “positive results” which has a few arrows pointing away from it towards said results: Menstruation stops, increased sex drive and enlarged clitoris. A slightly larger arrow pointing away from the positive results label leads to the final step: “Bilateral mastectomy (removal of breasts)” Another arrow pointing upwards from the third hormones step then leads to “negative results” which once again has arrows pointing away from it towards each result: liver spots, uterus atrophies and risk of cancer. The words “liver spots” then has another arrow pointing back to the rejected label, while “uterus atrophies” has a label leading to the word “hysterectomy.” End ID]ALT
[ID: A continuation of the flow chart, with arrows pointing upwards from the mastectomy label on the previous page onto this page. The first arrow pointing directly up leads to the label “genitoplasty” with a short explanation underneath that reads: “Hormone-enlarged clitoris repositioned into small penis.” End text. Another arrow points right from this to the label “vaginectomy” with a short explanation underneath that reads “interior vagina removed outer labia sewn together and filled with silicone implants to form testicles.” End text. Going back to the three arrows on the bottom left of the page, the second arrow, pointing up and to the right leads to the label “abdominal tube phalloplasty” with a short explanation underneath that reads: “Square cut from abdomen to make penis (lacks sensation and requires insertion of rod for penetration)” End text. The last arrow, pointing directly right, leads to the label “forearm flap phalloplasty” with a short explanation underneath that reads: “flap cut from forearm, more sensitive than above but very new and very expensive.” End text. At the top of the page, in large black letters, is a quote from John Armstrong that reads: “Because we are men, not having a penis is very traumatic. You would do almost anything to get one. Having a scar is minor to being physically correct.” End text. End ID]ALT

Well… Rainbow dash told me to tell you her top surgery scars have healed incredibly well over the past years. And that she still thinks of you from time to time. And she misses what the two of you had, the good times, the.. the memories. The laughs. god, the laughs.
