The History of the Art of Rotoscope | Amazing Time Capsule

To save time and cut costs, Disney often reused animation scenes across different movies. This technique, known as rotoscoping, originally involved tracing over live-action footage to animate movement. As Disney’s film library expanded, animators began tracing over scenes from older cartoons instead. This behind-the-scenes trick helped the studio maintain production speed while keeping budgets in check. | History In Pictures
