Walt Disney's 32nd Animated Feature, The Lion King (1994)
This artikel is similar to the one I did a while back with The Little Mermaid, but this one will be about The Lion King. Now, The Lion King, for me, is also one of my puncak, atas favorit disney Classics. I think it has really gorgeous animation, both character animasi and also the backgrounds/locations. The way the animators brought all these binatang to life is just astonishing!
Like I wrote in the piece for Mermaid, I think it's funny to watch certain scenes in slow motion. That way anda get lebih of out the animation. anda can see where the animators have animated on the ones and twos, anda can also see little details anda normally wouldn't notice at normal speed. This is why I make these artikel about disney animasi in Slow Motion.
