Description

The fundamental principles of animation were developed at the Disney studio in the 1930s and when applied to animation result in a recognisable “Disney” style of motion. By adhering to these fundamental principles of animation, Animators have been able to successfully extend the Disney style of motion to the 3D CG medium. This paper goes beyond Disney style motion and examines the adaptation of techniques typically seen in more extreme cartoon-style motion and “pushed posing”, exemplified by early Warner Brothers animated short films. This is achieved via an analysis of Hotel Transylvania by Sony Pictures Animation, which features a stylised form of animation adapted from the extended principles of extreme cartoon-style motion to the 3D medium.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
