What is Cel animation 


Cel animation is a form of animation which is used in production or cartoon and is where each frame of the scene is actually drawn by hand. To make a full length movie it would be very time consuming  and would take somewhere around a million or more drawings to complete. Up until the 1990s disney were using this form to create some of their movies.




Tom & Jerry 

Tom and jerry is a prime example of Cel animation because every single frame had to be painted and this was done by a transparent cel laid over  background and then photographed. Tom and Jerry was an american cartoon that was created  by Wiliam Hanna and Joseph Barbera in 1940 and is still a largely active figure on TV right now it was directed by the two creators. The show had an 18 year stint with the years of it being active from 1940 to 1958 however with the now seemingly older form of animation that isn't used much today still gets more views than most modern day animation shows







Lion King

The lion king was an american cartoon movie classic that was produced in 1994 and was produced by Walt disney. This movie uses Cel animation also  meaning that every single frame had to be painted meaning that this would have taken around about 1 million frames. the producer was Don Hahn
