The Fleischer Brothers

They developed their own style and methods of animation but all share the same love, passion, and ambition to bring this medium to life to fullest of their capacity.
Walt Disney pioneered the animation standards for many animators since his time. His approach to the making of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs is very interesting, he doesn't simply dive in drawing frame by frame but rather he divides the animation by the object or thing with movement.

That's what gives Snow white a much more organic and lifelike appeal as opposed to the rest of the animated figures. Warner Bros says this when it comes to animation, “If the animated cartoon, with its limitless potential for exaggeration and flights of fancy, couldn’t venture beyond the realm of a live-action film, what was the point?” This questions if Warner Bros believes in rotoscoping as being an official form of animation since there is no exaggeration beyond the realm of reality such as in the rotoscoping of Snow

Walt Disney did Mickey Mouse cartoon equipped with voices and music, entitled Steamboat Willie. When it appeared in 1928, Steamboat Willie was a sensation. (Disney himself provided the voice for Mickey until 1947.) This popularity led to the invention of other animal characters, such as Donald Duck and the dogs Pluto and Goofy. Walt Disney was never one to rest or stand still. He had long thought of producing feature-length animated films in addition to the shorts. In 1934, he began work on a version of the classic fairy tale Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), a project that required great organization and coordination of studio talent and a task for which Disney possessed a unique capacity. While he actively engaged in all phases of creation in his films, he functioned chiefly as coordinator and final decision maker rather than as designer and artist. By animating substantially human figures in the characters of Snow White, the Prince, and the Wicked Queen and by forming caricatures of human figures in the seven dwarfs, Disney departed from the scope and techniques of the shorts and thus proved animation’s…

    When Walt Disney began his cartoon and film career in 1927, he might have been unaware of how the American public would rush to purchase his "original" creations. His first cartoon, a re-creation of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that added a comedic spin, began his career in the cartoon industry and eventually spun his company into a billion dollar enterprise (Funding Universe). As Disney's popularity grew, he continued to expand his film creations, but generally by copying or "re-creating" fairy tales or other historical literature. Many Americans believe that Walt Disney was the first person to create fairy tales, and Disney failed to recognize the original creators of the stories that made him so popular: the folk.…
