After reading this I did a lot of research on the process of cell animation within Disney studios and other big production companies. Needless to say I was amazed at the amount of work it takes to animate a short film, much less a feature. I couldn't believe they had secret ink formulas they protected in a vault. In a way it is a shame that all this hard work is never apparent th the viewer, but that's the beauty of it. They worked so hard to created a world that sucks the audience in and makes them forget these characters are hand drawn. They put so much into each character that they become real and people actually identify and respond to a figure some guy drew on paper as if he were living life in front of everyone.
On the other hand it is also amazing to see other "unorthodox" styles of animation such as the work of PEZ. In some ways it takes more creativity to do what he does because he only works with materials that exist in the real world to create his illusion.
