1. 0:08this is an important movie for lots of
2. 0:11different reasons but certainly one is
3. 0:13that it's a return to hand-drawn
4. 0:15animation classical disney hand-drawn
5. 0:17animation which which you haven't seen
6. 0:20for a long time it's really exciting to
7. 0:22be
8. 0:23back in the saddle as it were and
9. 0:25working on one of these films partly
10. 0:26because of the collaboration with all
11. 0:28these artists they are the best in the
12. 0:30world at doing this and it gives them us
13. 0:32a chance to share their work with a
14. 0:33wider audience and i think people will
15. 0:35really
16. 0:36love you know
17. 0:37diving back into it we had a big meeting
18. 0:39we didn't know what it was all about
19. 0:41everybody sat around this gigantic um
20. 0:44table we came to the conclusion to do
21. 0:46the rough animation and the cleanup
22. 0:48animation for the princess and the frog
23. 0:50on paper it was just quiet everybody was
24. 0:52sitting there
25. 0:53i'm going yes
26. 0:56i got up
27. 0:57victory dance or whatever you want to
28. 0:59call it i mean how can you not be
29. 1:00ecstatic i can hold still this was huge
30. 1:03news to be a part of this sort of
31. 1:06rebirth
32. 1:07is is really an exciting time in studio
33. 1:10it's the reason why we got into this
34. 1:11business 2d animation coming back to the
35. 1:13studio i think is great because
36. 1:15you know i don't know if it really
37. 1:17i don't know if it really left so much i
38. 1:19mean i think everybody here still had a
39. 1:21strong love for it i think obviously the
40. 1:23history with disney with the 2d films is
41. 1:26massive and i think everybody even
42. 1:29outside of disney's very happy about the
43. 1:31idea of doing a 2d film again
44. 1:33the hand-drawn craft for me has always
45. 1:35been an attraction because it has
46. 1:38that sense of quality everyone
47. 1:39associates anything handmade with a high
48. 1:41sense of quality that's really what's uh
49. 1:44what's great about hand drawn that it
50. 1:45can be right from your pencil to the
51. 1:47piece of paper and just an instant sort
52. 1:49of link between you your hand and the
53. 1:51audience really to put a performance on
54. 1:53paper and make drawings move that's a
55. 1:55fascination and a thrill that doesn't
56. 1:59get old it's an art form that you just
57. 2:01want to see continue if you can take a
58. 2:03series of drawings and move someone to
59. 2:05laugh to cry it's the ultimate illusion
60. 2:09you know when you think about it it's
61. 2:10the ultimate magic trick
62. 2:12this is why
63. 2:14i do what i do for a living is because
64. 2:16of the films of walt disney in this
65. 2:19magical art form that his artist helped
66. 2:22create
67. 2:24if there's a studio in the world that
68. 2:26should still be doing hand-drawn
69. 2:27animation it should be the walt disney
70. 2:29animation studio the studio that started
71. 2:31it all
72. 2:33we're back
