Xerox Process - In the late
1950s, Disney
technicians began experimenting with ways of
adapting the Xerox copier to copy the
animators' pencil drawings directly onto cels.
After a few test scenes in "Sleeping Beauty," the
process finally came into its own on the
featurette "Goliath II" and the full-length "101
Dalmatians." Animators liked the process,
because it was their drawings that got into the
film, not the adaptation of their drawings by
inkers. A disadvantage was that only one color
outline, primarily black or gray, could be used.
