Exaggerated Cartoon Style Motion in Hotel Transylvania

 Exaggerated Cartoon Style Motion in Hotel Transylvania

Abstract

The fundamental principles of animation were developed at the Disney studio in the 1930s and when applied to animation result in a recognisable“Disney” style of motion. By adhering to these fundamental principles of animation, Animators have been able to successfully extendthe Disney style of motion to the 3D CG medium. This papergoes beyond Disney style motion andexamines the adaptation of techniques typically seen in more extreme cartoon-style motion and “pushed posing”, exemplified by early Warner Brothers animated short films. This is achieved via an analysis of Hotel Transylvania by Sony Pictures Animation, which features a stylised form of animation adapted from the extended principles of extreme cartoon-style motion to the 3D medium.
