Steamboat Willie - Walt Disney

This classic Disney animation uses the squash and stretch style of animating that I have been practising recently in class...



You can see this exaggerates the characters actions, making the film more interesting to watch. The actions are emphasised so there's no need for dialogue.
I like how it's been drawn in black and white, with a slightly smudged background, giving it the impression that it was all done using pencil.
Even the objects they're using are given a life of their own - such as the whistles on the boat at the start, which is hard to believe but it is believable at the same time, because it's been animated, so it's not meant to be exactly like real life.
