cartoon animation?

Question

on shows like family guy and simpsons do they still draw every scene by hand or is it on computer or somethin?

Answer 1

"Drawn in pencil on animation paper, production drawings are the artistic backbone of The Simpsons. Each character action and pose must be drawn by hand before the corresponding cell can be painted. For the first fourteen seasons The Simpsons was animated using the traditional techniques of cell painting. The past few seasons have been digitally colored, so cells are no longer being painted.

A Simpsons production cell may feature one or more characters, and may be made up of one or more layers of clear celluloid acetate with the characters hand-painted on the reverse. This incredibly time consuming process is at the heart of traditional animation.

While it takes many thousands of cells to create an episode of The Simpsons, a very small percentage (typically one or two hundred per episode) are complete, recognizable characters or scenes that you would want to hang on your wall. In order to speed up the animation process, the artists only re-paint the part of a character that is in motion at any given moment. For example, if a character is standing still and speaking, there may be hundreds of cells painted with just his mouth or face, and just one body."

Answer 2

Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, and many of them are still hand done. Most of the crapy anime shows are computer done, watch American cartoons!

Answer 3

They sell painted animation of the Simpson's so I would guess they still draw. I know Disney does, my daughter's uncle in law is an animator for them (He is a jerk too). Can't pick in laws but he is the only one we want to give back. He has done some cool animation though. His only saving grace.

Answer 4

Don't know about Simpsons but Family Guy is drawn by hand.

Answer 6

These shows are done in traditional cel animation in Korea and composited digitally with computers.

Answer 7

Is a collaboration of both computer and hand made and it takes quite a staff to make just one episode there are long hour involved and a lot of patience too. ^_^
