Disney Animation Update

From the Animation Guild blog two quick updates on Bolt and The Princess and The Frog, the next two films from Walt Disney Animation Studios:

Bolt is moving into higher gears as more of the staff begins getting overtime. As one artist said:

"I caught a screening of the film, mostly story reels now, a few days ago. I hadn't seen it in some time, and they've revamped the story a lot since January. And I really thought it worked well ..."

Princess and the Frog now has production animation going on, as well as experimental animation. The studio formed a study group to analyze the hand-drawn features of the nineties to sort out what elements worked and what didn't, how they can get the most bang for their production buck, etc.

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that Bolt turns out to be lightning in a bottle for Disney. They need a good hit soon. But I still regret that Chris Sanders style has been excised from the picture.
