Paperman Animation Appreciation
So I recently saw this animated short from Disney. It's really an amazing little animation. Not only was Glen Keane one of the character developers, but the animation utilizes the benefits of both two dimensional art and three dimensional form. Glen Keane is known for creating and animating such beloved characters as Pocahontas, Ariel, Rapunzel, and the Beast. It was also his last work before retiring from Disney. The plot was simple about a chance meeting and a lot of paper airplanes. I really enjoyed the facial expressions and emotions that are shown through these speechless characters. The animation movements are very fluid and looks hand-drawn although it was made with modern technology. Also, the background music really enhances the overall design of the short. It brings emotion that would otherwise have been lost. I truly enjoyed watching this short over and over again. This is the type of piece I would love to work on after graduating. I really hope that other animation studios try to use this new design form of blending. But overall, Paperman is a real gem of a piece.
