This 29th Silly Symphony is indeed a landmark in Disney animation. Originally
begun as a black and white cartoon, the work was scrapped at great cost,
and the cartoon was made in color at Walt's insistence, for he believed
color could greatly enhance animation. He signed a two-year agreement
with Technicolor® giving him sole rights to the process for animated
shorts as well as a great head start over all of the other
cartoon producers in Hollywood. Very soon all the Disney cartoons would
be in color. Walt's faith in the process not only enhanced the quality
of his films, but helped make Technicolor® a respected standard in
the film industry. |
