There’s something wonderful about watching a high-quality transfer of traditional animation that is minimally processed. It induces this exotic perception where I feel as if I’m able to visualize each painstakingly drawn and colored celluloid, the camera used to photograph it, and the resulting film stock, all at once. The viewing process acquires an almost solemn and reverent tone as I find myself unable to ignore the incredibly laborious process which birthed the animation I’m enjoying.
All in all, I’m brought back to how amazing the art of animation is. These guys didn’t point a camera at a location and throw an actor in front of it. They created a world from nothing, using drawings and sound. They’re sorcerers. Miracle workers. Olympians of the highest order.
God damn I love cartoons.
