Disney art style and techniques

Walt Disney Animation has always been ate the forefront of animation, with their films being household names across the world. Founded in 1923 by Walt and Roy Disney, the company has grown into something incredible since its small beginnings. 'For more than nine decades, the name Walt Disney has been preeminent in the field of family entertainment. From humble beginnings as a cartoon studio in the 1920s to today's global corporation, The Walt Disney Company continues to proudly provide quality entertainment for every member of the family, across America and around the world.' (http://thewaltdisneycompany.com/about-disney/disney-history/1930-01-01--1939-12-31) I chose to study the work of Walt Disney Animation as I have always been inspired by the beautiful art portrayed in the films. Looking at the earlier works, I can see that their techniques of creating these beautiful scenes is the same as Studio Ghibli, creating a script, characters, storyboards and then sketching the individual characters. This is then painted with watercolours onto cells. Also like Studio Ghibli, the backgrounds and characters would be painted separately. (http://www.justdisney.com/animation/animation.html) It is however noticeable, that the styles of Studio Ghibli and Disney are different, with Studio Ghibli trying to create a traditional painting look, and Disney wanting to create a crisp, perfect scene. It is both techniques and styles which I want to experiment with in creating characters and scenes.
