| Object history | E.3:1-24-1985 and E.4:1-3-1985 show the original transparent acetate versions of these photocopies. Photocopying or xerox was commonly used in the production of animated film, as line changes could be made without spoiling the original cel. Ub Iwerks, a Dutchman by birth and an associate of Disney, adapted the process so it could be used in printing on transparent acetate. By this means previously hand drawn repetition was obviated. It also allowed much freer, more dynamic line to appear throughout the film as hand copying was invariably done by tracing with a very flat line. This process was introduced c. 1959-60. |
