As a student of animation, it was my ultimate dream to work for Walt Disney Feature Animation. Michael Eisner’s move to shut down traditional animation and transition to computer animation dashed my dreams of animating among my animation heroes. On the positive side, my years of study and my connections to the studios have provided me a lot of knowledge on the subject.
Together, we will discuss the art of animation and it’s application into the world of entertainment. I utilize my years of study to bring a certain expertise of the medium’s history and the people who brought us an endless catalog of great animation.
I hope you join me EVERY FRIDAY for a new adventure!

Cool, intesting things, thanks, be blessed,saved all in Jesus shalom
This is a great video !!! ❤
Have you done how to draw Esmeralda?
May I ask, where did you get your animation desk?
Hang on- how has the beast been enchanted for 21 years? The final rose petal is supposed to fall on his 21st birthday. Unless he was cursed prenatally, it doesn’t add up.
Thank you for all the information please when you're going to review Disney's Atlantis The lost Empire ? Thanks again
What makes me love this movie is the villains Fagin and Sykes. They were fun and so underrated! People should talk about them more
Have you seen the movie Hoodwinked I would love to know your thoughts on that CGI animated movie
Saddest part of the switch was Dejas fantastic character and the overall story idea with the sun. The rest was in fact too bland imo, although it could’ve worked with 1 or 2 completely different and more interesting main characters. Plus: Sting seemed already outdated the moment the movie came out, so I never got why they went that route in the first place. Should’ve used Prince and really let him loose, this could’ve become the most „craziest“ Disney film ever
Looking back, Aladdin kicked off the animation in tv for the rest of the 90s also
This guy looks like the king I squire who called my mom a dumb W**** with a fat A*** out of the blue when I was putting on his breastplate..
I loved the emperors new groove as a kid and after this id love to see kingdom off the sun as well
I don’t like the idea of the OG film but I wanted the yzma song and her being a necromancer. Also I’d really love to make a Disney movie.
The other day I saw a clip online of Jessica Rabbit tied to a train track and thought, ‘I don’t remember that in the movie.’ Turns out it was from one of a Roger Rabbit short called: _roller coaster rabbit_. I never knew about the animated shorts!! To my pleasant surprise Who Framed Roger Rabbit is available to watch free with ads on youtube movies. I was curious on BTS and production and found your channel! Thank you for all the insight and behind the scenes you provided. Really awesome work!!
Fun 🤩 Fact: The Nightmare Before Christmas was originally going to released by Walt Disney Pictures and be part of the Walt Disney Feature Animation lineup, but Walt Disney Studios decided to release the film under their adult 👩 themed label 🏷️ Touchstone Pictures because they thought 💭 the film would be too dark and scary 😟 for kids
They really need to reopen Touchstone pictures
The Emperor’s New Groove wasn’t a hit when it came out in late ⏰ 2000
Unfortunately The Hunchback of Notre Dame wasn’t a success upon release back in June of 1996
Snow White was a success upon release
Peter Pan is sure to be a classic
Now, consider one idea which may not have penetrated Disney's mind at the time; Yzma was still alive as a cat during the end of the movie. What if, instead of having everything follow as it did in Kronk's New Groove, Disney simply used Kingdom of the Sun as a theatrical-quality sequel, with Manco being the son of Kuzko, and Yzma is back to her original self, transformed Huaca into a living thing. All the aforementioned, and Yzma decides to take her revenge on Kuzco through Manco.
What a cool Concept. You should apply to the studio. They need help
It’s kinda interesting to hear about the history of Toy Story’s development and Pixar in general
Another fun detail about Disney's Hunchback is that it got not one but TWO stage adaptations-both of which keep and expand upon the score of the movie, AND made the story progressively darker and closer to the book! (Yes, really.) The first one ran in Berlin from 1999-2003, and became one of Germany's longest-running musicals at the time. Then the musical came to the U.S. premiering at the La Jolla and PaperMill Playhouses, and getting hundreds of high school/college/independent-theater productions across the states, and in other countries too! (Though sadly, couldn't make Broadway, not just because its darker than Disney's typical brand, but even more because it included a live choir that they couldn't pay the union enough the include.) When I say the stage version gets darker and closer to the book, this includes details like Frollo going back to being an archdeacon, and even giving him some more backstory that adds to his character and makes his decent down the path of darkness even scarier! Quasimodo is not only physically deformed, but suffers hearing loss from being the bell-ringer (which had the bonus of giving the role to deaf actors in some productions). The stage version redid wise-cracking gargoyles sidekicks to having the cathedrals statuary explicitly being voices in Quasimodo's head, like how the book details that the cathedral "spoke" to Quasimodo. And the story gets much less kid-friendly with added story elements like Frollo stabbing Phoebus and framing Esmerelda for it, Frollo attempting to RAPE Esmerelda as opposed to gripping her and sniffing her hair...and yes, even puts back in the original ending where all the characters die! The stage version is so cool, and the added music for it is so epic that it's compelled me to make some of my own musical animatics (in a style similar to animatics you'd see for Brad Bird's movies), to give my interpretation to what the songs would look like if they were animated!
Some more fun facts about the movie (or Hunchback-related) details: -Jason Alexander would do other voice work for Disney, with Abis Mal from the 'Aladdin' TV series. -Mandy Patinkin played Quasimodo in a made-for-TV adaptation of Hunchback which came out the following year after this movie. -This was the only movie from Disney's animated canon to get nominated for a Razzie. (Yes, not even some of Disney's more reviled titles like 'The Black Cauldron', 'Home on the Range', or 'Chicken Little' got a nomination like that!) This is why I don't put much stock in award ceremonies.
Man. You got one hell of a narrator voice
Thank you so much. Working on that
I had a question 🙋♀️ for you please, was Toy Story a success again when it was released back in 1995?
Yes, it was a smash success. With a budget of $30 million, it made almost that much in its opening weekend. To date, it’s made almost $400 million, globally. 😎
Peter Pan was a success when it was released back in 1953, right?
I’m afraid Peter Pan was not a huge success when it was originally released. Disney would learn that re-releases would be a popular strategy to gain popularity for its films.
Guess what Animator Talk? I looked up ⬆️ online and Peter Pan was a box office success upon its release, ok 👍?
I'd like ya to do "Tom and Jerry: The Movie" from 1992 for an animator talk video please.
That’s a fun idea. I’ll take a look at that. Thank you
@@AnimatorTalk happ milestone anniversary to that nostalgic cult classic since its official releasing year was 1993 and was only premiered on october at Germany, plus it is now viewed superior compared ironically with the faithful yet polarizing WB hybrid version
I hope that whenever they inevitably make a live action remake of Emperor's New Groove, I hope they will do something with Kingdom of the Sun.
That would be terrific! Of Course, they’d need to incorporate Kronk
This was probably my favorite Disney movie as a 90s kid
I saw this in the movie theater when it was first released, and I was the same age as you! Every so often I get a hankering to rewatch it, thanks to Disney+ I can easily quench that urge. On my last viewing, I realized with great amusement that this movie was probably my gateway drug to Billy Joel 😅 Because the following year in 1989, We Didn't Start the Fire came out, which wore me down until I finally asked my parents to buy me his latest album. I probably love this movie more as an adult than I did as a kid. Thanks for this video! Brought back all the nostalgic feelings.
Thank YOU! I saw Billy Joel twice in concert. Etc, we could hang
I am 25 and nobody my age has seen or heard of this movie. I feel like I'm the only one that owned it and watched it dozens of time as a kid
S.I.Heaven to both Robin Williams and now to Gilbert Gottfried Happy 30th anniversary to Disney's Aladdin
I can’t believe it
I wasn’t born until 1994 so I never saw it in theaters when it was released. However I owned the vhs tape for many years. Throughout my childhood I was in and out of hospitals dealing with a lot of medical conditions and my favorite movies I would take were Oliver and Company, The Little Mermaid and Toy Story.(I probably took other movies too, but you know what I mean.) I sang Once Upon A Time In New York City all the time and I remember singing Perfect Isn’t Easy at a recital years ago. The last time I watched the vhs was years ago. The next morning I lost it. I was very upset because it was one of my favorites. Then I remember my older sister bought me the dvd. Then years later my mom found the vhs as she was looking for things to donate. When she said she found it, I just decided to donate it because I already got the dvd. Today is this movie’s 34th anniversary. Yesterday was The Little Mermaid’s 33RD anniversary. November has always been a busy time of the year for the Disney studio and fans. I’m proud that I’m part of the Disney fandom. I’m nearly 30 years old now and I’ve never given up my passion for Disney. I don’t think I ever will.
What a beautiful story. Sure hope health has been better to you, but wow! The healing power of Disney.
As much as I like The Emperor’s New Groove, it’s original concept Kingdom of the Sun would’ve been a whole lot better.
It certainly had some good bones to it
I seem to remember them talking about the computer animation and it consisted of doing line drawing animation on computers that would be printed onto paper sheets frame by frame that would be transferred to cels and hand painted.
That’s exactly how they did it. Genius
Saw and liked it. Will it win an Oscar. ..uh...no...but I found it very enjoyable.
It was a decent debut for the studio. I’m looking forward to their next film
Pinocchio is a well-cast, well-animated, and well-written classic.
You get a hint of Cab Calloway in the final version of Friend Like Me when Robin Williams scats the "wa wa wa" part.
Disney when they cast Patrick Warburton as Kronk: Oh yeah, it’s all coming together.
Absolutely
I see hints of Emperor’s New Groove in the early animation of Kingdom of the Sun, particularly the animation on Manco, later Kuzco.
Speaking of Tim Burton can you review or talk about the animated Frankenweenie from 2012 since it just 10 years old
Oooooh, that could be a fun one. Thank you
@@AnimatorTalk you're welcome
Despite this movie being a box-office bomb, the movie did gather a cult following and do well with critics and audiences alike. Even Ted Turner loved it so much.
If only Warner Bros knew what they had at the time. They should have poured more cash into the advertising on this
Hey you’re back love it
thank you for being such a fun person to watch
Thank YOU ❤️
This is just great 👍👍
Glad to see your videos! I enjoy watching them!
Thank you
I think Disney had the best catalogue of animated films, but I think WB has the best one ever made with the Iron Giant.
It was also a box office flop along with Fantasia when they’re released in 1940.
That was largely due to tensions in Germany and the war, but yes
Aladdin was a box office hit when it was released in November 1992.
HUGE hit in 92
in the film the gargoyles are alive and they are Quasimodo’s friends.
