Modern sources also add that 500,000 celluloids and twelve tons of paint were used for the 115,700 composite scenes in the film. This was Max Fleischer's first feature-length-Technicolor animated feature. It only used one episode from the Jonathan Swift 1726 book, Gulliver's Travels. Several West Coast techniques were introduced in order to provide better animation and greater personality in the characters. Some animators adapted while others did not. Pencil tests were unheard of in New York but were soon embraced as a tool for improving production methods. And while the majority of the characters were animated through conventional animation techniques, rotoscoping was used to animate Gulliver, Glory, and David. Sam Parker, the voice of Gulliver, also modeled for the live-action reference. |
