Disney's Turn

Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom



A Symposium of Popular Songs (1962)

Part 1



Part 2



The first animation is Disney's attempt at mimicking the UPA style. Whilst the traditional Disney style is still present, there has clearly been experimentation with the character design and backgrounds. It looks more modern and hip and has a more jazzy vibe to it.
"A Symposium of Popular Songs" is Disney's later experimentation with paper and stop motion. Again, it has bits that are traditionally drawn which I think are unnecessary but the stop motion part looks wonderful. It also looks modern and stylish. Its nice to know that Disney was capable of other things besides clinging to their trademark look.
