DBZ is a big franchise and is influential to many people , I doubt Disney would not acknowledge that, and I'm sure there are some disney artist out there that are fan of DBZ. What I was WTF-ing at was the fact they site using DBZ as a reference inspiration for this movie.PatrickvD wrote:
the very idea of someone thinking the artists at Disney would even acknowledge let alone reference the existence of Dragonball Z is funny in and of itself.
This isn't fault. When Akira Toriyama created the characters Bibbidi (babbidi's father), Babbidi, and Buu I used the "bibbidi bobbidi boo" title song as an inspiration and those three characters involve magic in their abilitiesPatrickvD wrote: And they lost me at Bibbidy Bobbidy what now?
He had more than that as his powers.Margos wrote:All I remember about that arc in DBZ is that Buu had the power to turn people into candy.
Disney Duster wrote:Glen Keane credits animator Kyle Strawitz for achieving the painterly style of the film: "Kyle helped us get that Fragonard look of the girl on the swing... He took the house from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) and built it in CGI, and painted it so that it looked like a flat painting that suddenly started to move, and it had dimension and kept all of the soft, round curves of the brushstrokes of watercolor. Kyle really helped me start to believe that the things I wanted to see were possible... that you could move in a Disney painterly world."
It's certainly been WTFed by me in my siggy.IagoZazu wrote:Super Aurora wrote:

There were other good ones if you click back though. There were also some interesting comments which I'd hoped to address. But this week went on as long as Rapunzel's locks. Jack observed/worried that Disney will be going all snarky/cynical with this one (note the poses) and misses the sense of innocence and wonder that used to be found in the genre. Duly noted and I do think that's a shame. Especially since I love the story of Rapunzel and if any character shouldn't be worldly and snarky it's probably the one who's a total shut in with no outside contact.
Yes. Tthe backgrounds more than anything were going to be painterly, with the characters having charcoal and/or pencily outlines and shading. It sounded to me like a mix of all sorts of mediums, pencil, paint, charcoal, 3d. Was going to be much more stylized than what we have now.Disney Duster wrote:Thank you Kyle for confirming, and your great info!
If you know any more...do you know if that cel shading also looked painterly?
I have, for a while now, though Rapunzel would look great with CGI background and characters with the background looking like very detailed oil paintings and the characters outlined with painting-like shading. Then, they would just be more detailed, more lush, oil-looking versions of the previous hand-drawn films.
But do you know if the cel shading tried to look painterly at all? Because even Snow White had a blended white in her black hair for the shine in it, and Figaro had a similar shine effect for his black hair. The Walt Disney artists didn't use all lined shadows, but some blending, man! And, of course, their films were painted, so obviously they looked painterly and blended. In fact, even in The Rescuers Down Under, Beauty and the Beast, and on, the new artists tried to do a blended shadow thing, and also the blended blush in Belle's cheeks, just like Snow White's painted blush.
