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.

For three days I've been battling this illness alone. A severe case of the flu has exhausted me; my weak body can't take it anymore. The cough won't subside, and my fever worsens day by day. I haven't slept a wink, not only because of the illness, but also because my bed is completely soaked with rainwater. I sleep on the cold floor, wet, shivering, and in pain.

I can't eat anymore. Every bite hurts; my throat is inflamed, and my stomach is empty. I went looking for medicine, something to ease this pain, but it was too expensive, so I returned empty-handed, suffering in silence.

The pain has become unbearable; I even wish for death. There's no rest at night, no medicine during the day, and I can't endure any longer. Every passing moment feels like my last. My only wish is that my voice reaches everyone who can help me by donating so I can buy medicine and repair our torn tent. Please donate and don't abandon us.

Please help my friend Ahmed. I beg you to send him survival funds as soon as possible. I am so afraid for him

Please, friends, help me and don't leave me. My illness is still ravaging me and destroying my health, and my pain is increasing because I haven't been able to afford the medicine yet. Our tent and mattress are completely soaked because winter hasn't ended. I need your help with donations so I can buy the medicine and raise the money to repair our tent. Please help us with donations and don't abandon us.

Please do whatever you can!

please donate

Please help Ahmed and his family so they can afford medicine

Please, friends, help me. I am extremely exhausted and unable to move or get out of my wet bed because my pain is increasing due to the cold and winter weather that has seeped into our ruined tent. I cannot sleep; I just cry. I am sick and confined to my wet bed. Please help me by donating so I can buy my medicine. Please donate and don't leave me.

please help Ahmed and his family afford repairs for their tent and other basic needs by sharing and giving what you can
