Disney Animation's Paperman has debuted online, so you can have a look at the Oscar-nominated animated short that blends hand-drawn and computer-generated imagery in a beautiful, innovative way.
In Paperman you'll first notice how different it looks from most modern cartoons. It doesn't look like the quasi-photo-realistic CGI animation of everything from Pixar. It looks as if real people created it, which is something we haven't really seen in feature animation in years.
According to Director John Kahrs, it's intentional. The origin of Paperman “really came out of working so much with Glen [Keane] on Tangled.”
Keane is a classic Disney animator who worked on The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast and Aladdin among others. Kahrs began to appreciate the traditional animation and drawing techniques. “I thought, Why do we have to leave these drawings behind? Why can’t we bring them back up to the front of the image again? Is there a way that CG can kinda carry along the hand drawn line in a way that we haven’t done before?”
