I remember posting this a few months back, but I recently found a more complete version. It’s about twice as long as the one I posted originally.

I can’t get over how much I love this scene.

Paperman, a Disney short that will be shown before Wreck-it-Ralph in November, blends 2D and 3D and is the directing debut of animator John Kahrs (Toy Story 2, Tangled, Incredible).

Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting… with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office. With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store for him.

Disney’s reused animation.

-Disney Historical Fact-

For years, Disney animators had been going back and reusing sequences from past films but it wasn’t really noticed until recently, thanks to sites like youtube. Many called it ‘lazy’ and ‘a lie’ but it should be worth noting that, while the timing and poses were copied, nothing was ever traced verbatim. Now, with advanced technology, animators can have instant feedback on their shots, in the form of pencil tests or play blasts. Back then, this was not the case.

If an animator wanted a pencil test created for their shot, they had to send it off to a shooting house that could capture and transfer it onto tape, which could take up to a week. And if they had to change the timing, they might need to repeat the process. Keeping in mind that budgets and time constraints were strict, this wasn’t always feasible. So animators turned to reusing shots that already had the timing and posing done. Why reinvent the wheel, right?

Everything in this time was still done by hand though. Animators had to redraw the frames with the new characters, Ink and Paint had to paint the new cels, and they had to be shot on new backgrounds. Disney didn’t start using computer technology until The Great Mouse Detective (1986), so while they reused sequences, it was still created by hand.
