Its kind of disappointing to know that you need tablets and software to get anywhere in this sort of field these days.
So much expensive shit.
Yeah a dude with a tablet sounds so much more expensive than 100 animators, a paint department, a photo department, management, oh and yeah a huge mechanical iron armature for holding cells.

Really? It is much easier for an independent person/studio to get create and release something animated (and every other medium) these days than it ever has been. You think you were creating a cartoon in your basement in the 1930s?
Slightly off topic but how come this style of voice/video was used for so long, like up until the 60s. It's like all documentaries/commercials had this kind of propaganda voice narration, with quaint music in the background. Why did it stop though? Did people 'grow up' out of it in the late 60s/early 70s or something?
Amazing. I love old school animation. Not just because it is so fluid but because the characters have so much more charisma and do goofy things (like how Popeye is twisting his arms and stuff in the video).
Most animation nowadays suck.
Classy narration in newsreels just doesn't capture the audience like a good old sensational tabloid.Slightly off topic but how come this style of voice/video was used for so long, like up until the 60s.

I wonder that too. I remember seeing so many Disney made documentaries (from space to well anything) from the 50s and before.Slightly off topic but how come this style of voice/video was used for so long, like up until the 60s.

I think what I meant by my post, is just that it seems like artists need expensive things to be taken seriously as individuals these days.
With no computers back then, they really couldn't afford to make any mistake in drawing every scene.
Anyone else surprised by how many women apparently worked in animation back then?

Just shows how lazy and over-entitled we've become in the modern era

gives you an idea how damn organized and professional they are, it requires so much coordination to get just a few seconds of footage done, it's pretty mind blowing. Not saying it isn't so today but these people are pretty much the pioneers in animation back in the day.
So painstaking I almost find it hard to believe it was economically viable. I guess these animators weren't making tons of dough.
I thought outsourcing to Vietnam was becoming more and more popular, actually.Koreans
Really now?
The era of many possibly mistreated workers speedily working towards a goal is over. We may not have a steady stream of episodes of an intricately and thoughtfully animated work like Popeye anymore, or even things like the Empire State Building or entire subway lines built in a year ever again, but the tradeoff is definitely worth it.
But that aside, awesome video. I was surprised to see the bird flying around a real 3D model of a mountain. I didn't ever think of mixing 2D cells with 3D scenes.
